My path to healthcare was shaped early in life. My grandmother, who raised me, lived with Type 2 diabetes, and I also saw loved ones struggle with substance use. Those experiences showed me how deeply health can impact a person’s life and inspired me to pursue a career where I could help make a difference.
Mountain Park stood out to me because of its strong mission and commitment to providing accessible, high-quality care. I was drawn to the collaborative environment and the way providers are supported in delivering meaningful care to our community.
When you come in for a visit, you can expect to be heard, respected, and actively involved in your care. I focus on using evidence-based medicine while making sure you understand your health and feel comfortable asking questions. I believe the best care comes from working together, building trust, and meeting you where you are.
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in healthcare is that medicine is about people first. While clinical knowledge is essential, listening and forming genuine connections often have the greatest impact.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife—whether we’re traveling, watching documentaries or reality shows, or taking care of our pug/bulldog mix, Alfie. I also prioritize my own well-being through nutrition, regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. If I weren’t in healthcare, I might be teaching or working in nutrition or fitness, as I’ve always enjoyed helping others improve their quality of life.
Fun fact: I’m a big Star Wars fan (my wife and I were even married on May 4th!) and collected Pokémon cards as a kid. I’ve also had the opportunity to travel to 25 countries and enjoy experiencing different cultures and cuisines.
