Overview
I care for patients with a variety of orthopaedic conditions, primarily focusing on the spine and neck. I encourage patients to be active partners in their recovery. Together, we discuss all available treatment options and work to formulate a treatment plan that is best for each individual, helping them get back to the activities they love. Prior to becoming a physician assistant, I was a certified athletic trainer. I worked with the U.S. Luge Association and USA Bobsled and Skeleton, providing sports medicine services to development and Olympic level athletes. I continue to be involved with USA Bobsled and Skeleton as a volunteer medical provider. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter and exploring all that the Triangle has to offer.
