Biography: I went into general surgery so I could treat a wide range of conditions and found I enjoyed not just the variety - but the vast improvement many patients experience after surgery. We often treat lifestyle-limiting diseases, and seeing patients improve after surgery - and accomplish things they couldn't before - is very fulfilling. \n My approach to healthcare - and to surgical interventions, specifically - is patient-centered. My aim is to understand my patient's goals and values and then develop a surgical plan that helps them accomplish those goals. \n I'm a proud Eagle Scout, a recipient of the Lucius Blanchard Carolina Family Scholarship and winner of the UNC Department of Surgery's George Sheldon, MD Leadership Award in 2019 which is given to a 4th year medical student for outstanding academic and clinical achievement, and who possesses personal characteristics that promise a future leadership role in surgery. \n Outside the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my wife and son. We enjoy being on the water - whether that's at the beach or lake, running, walking our dog, Nellie, and watching basketball and football. My wife and I are both avid UNC Tar Heel fans. During basketball season, you can find us cheering on the Tarheels every chance we get.

Biography: If you asked me what one of my biggest strengths was, I would say problem solving. Where others might see problems, I always try to see solutions. As a surgeon, I work with my patients to find those solutions; when we work together, we see real-life improvements in patient outcomes. \n I think it is so important that patients understand their condition as well as their treatment options so they can be involved in all aspects of making their own medical decisions. I advocate for my patients so their wishes are respected and so they get the best care available. \n My family and my dogs keep me busy outside of work. Together, we love going to the beach. I also enjoy playing soccer and volleyball, and cooking great meals.
