Personal
My favorite pastime outside of work is being at home with my lovely wife Shanna and 2 daughters: Lucy (4) and Lillian (1).
Quote: I chose MIR because as a resident here I grew to admire the faculty who taught me and wanted to be a part of a department with such an immense national and international reputation. Working with our residents inspires, motivates, and challenges me and is my favorite part of this job.
