I was an undergrad studying engineering and I joined the Army between freshman and sophomore year for tuition money. Although I was an infantry soldier, I was exposed to the discipline of medicine by field medics. They taught me how to start IVs, splint fractures, etc. I enjoyed learning about the human body and how to heal diseases and conditions. When I returned to school, I changed my major to chemistry/pre-med.
My wife Sammer and I have twins, Samaia and Silas, and a younger daughter, Sidney. I enjoy traveling, sports, music, dancing, and reading, and I have an interest in real estate. I am a former member of the Third U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard), the official escort of the President, and a former guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The mental stress of having an operation is sometimes worse for the patient than the operation itself. As their provider, my role is to reassure them by listening and validating their concerns. My ability to place myself in their situation makes it easier to communicate with them and alleviate some of their stresses.
