Biography: I knew I wanted to be a doctor when I was in sixth grade, and I specialized in cardiology because we have state of the art technology to both diagnose and treat heart problems. \n I joined Novant Health in 1999 and have enjoyed building long-term relationships with my patients ever since. I am an interventional and general cardiologist and treat coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and valvular heart disease. \n What I most value about cardiology is seeing patients who have been critically ill make a full recovery and witnessing patients make heart-healthy lifestyle changes. \n My wife and I have three great kids. My hobbies include running marathons, golf, skiing and hiking.
