Biography: My passion for helping people, my love of science and my penchant for building meaningful relationships led me to a career in medicine. Internal medicine, with its focus on managing adult health conditions and fostering deep relationships, has been the perfect fit for me. For the past 35 years, I've dedicated myself to providing compassionate, timely and competent care. \n I strive to treat each patient as if they were family. And after knowing some of my patients for nearly three decades, many of them feel like family. \n As my longtime patients encounter some of the health challenges that often accompany aging, I've become interested in the health concerns of seniors. I brought that expertise to my previous service on the executive board for The Pines at Davidson, a retirement community in the area. \n I held several leadership roles at my previous medical group, including serving as co-medical director for the COVID Virtual Hospital in 2020 at the first such facility in the nation to respond to the pandemic. In addition, I've been honored with multiple "Top Doctor" awards from Charlotte Magazine and Business North Carolina. \n I've been married to - and supported by - my wife of over 30 years, who's a full-time mental health counselor and owner of Triple Play Farm, where she guides patients through equine-facilitated psychotherapy. We have three sons: Jake, who served in the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps; Ben, who leads cybersecurity for a Charlotte startup; and Sam, who will work in military intelligence for the U.S. Army upon college graduation.
