I grew up in the small town of Ozark, AL. I earned my bachelor's degree from Troy University, Dothan and then went to VCOM in Auburn, AL to complete my medical degree. My training continued at Cahaba as part of the rural residency and then the OB fellowship program. I loved the idea of Cahaba before I matched, but the incarnation was even more than I could've asked for. It was and is a privilege to serve a rural patient population through plucky, full-scope Family Medicine alongside a team who is determined to "make a dent in the universe" everyday. My non-medical interests include watching all manner of sports (War Eagle/Go Braves/Skol), playing with my dog Sully, reading, and attempting random arts & crafts. 

I grew up in northern Florida in a small rural community called Sanderson, along the Florida-Georgia line. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Science and a minor in Religious and Cultural Studies before earning my Master's of Medical Science from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. I remained at LECOM to earn my medical degree. I joined Cahaba as a rural family medicine resident and remained to complete our Behavioral Health Fellowship before signing on as faculty. I have a passion for mental health in primary care and the integration of behavioral health with family medicine. Cahaba has allowed me to grow exponentially in these areas and worked with me in the creation of the Behavioral Health Fellowship. Outside of the office, I enjoy reading and hosting game-night with my friends. 

I grew up amidst the bayous of Monroe, Louisiana. Geaux Tigers!!! In college I wrestled with whether to pursue teaching, seminary, or medicine. A rejected Teach for America application and a seminary visit later, I chose medicine. As a 4th-year med on the cusp of committing to IM to pursue gastroenterology or geriatrics, a visit to an FQHC in Memphis changed everything. My wife and I were drawn to their model of care and commitment to community. A mentor there told me I’d be more useful as a family doctor—and I’ve been practicing family medicine with underserved communities ever since.

Since 2010, my family has practiced intentional neighboring, rooted in a small house church community and in an effort at some sort of solidarity with communities often left behind by what Dorothy Day called the “dirty rotten system.” I’ve been blessed to work alongside close friends and inspiring colleagues, and in this vocation, I’ve found a way to weave together teaching, ministry, and medicine after all!

After directing a residency in Memphis, I joined Cahaba+UAB FMR in 2018 as Director of the Urban Residency. I’m a tinkerer in our clinical learning environment, always experimenting with curriculum and faculty development. I love continuity with patients, helping younger faculty along, and hosting Tuesday night conversations on spirituality, community, vocation, and justice.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find me with my family and friends outdoors, enjoying music, or learning to play the banjo.

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.

I was raised and grew up in Huntsville Al. After attending and graduating from the University of Alabama I found myself wanting to practice medicine in a rural setting. In medical school, I was assigned to Cahaba’s Rural track where I completed my clinical years of training and fell in love with Cahaba's mission. After medical school, I decided to continue my training and completed residency with Cahaba. I completed residency training in Family Medicine and then an additional year of fellowship training in Emergency Medicine. I now work with Cahaba at the Maplesville location and attend residents of the frontier and rural track as well as work in several rural, underserved, Emergency Departments. In my free time, I enjoy jiujitsu, Alabama sports, any outdoor activities but specifically canoe tripping and backpacking.
