I was born and raised in northern Virginia and studied at Virginia Tech before attending VCOM-VA for medical school. My journey to Cahaba truly began in 2009, when the Gospel of Jesus Christ transformed my life, reshaping my goals and calling me to use medicine as a tool to show and share God's love. Through discipleship at Christ Church Radford, a summer in Zambia, and the Global Missions Health Conference, I grew convinced that God was leading me into family medicine.
I completed residency at Cahaba Medical Care in 2022, followed by an OB fellowship in 2023, and have served as faculty since. Cahaba’s community, commitment to medical excellence, and emphasis on spiritual health drew me here, and my family has found a home in its mission. I am passionate about full-spectrum training—while remaining rooted in the conviction that spiritual health is central to caring for patients. My wife Sarah and I have two children, Eliana and Liam, and we are grateful to be part of this community.
