Ever since rotating at JPS as a medical student I was blown away by the program and amazing people here. I have made lifelong friends with my colleagues and JPS family. JPS offers a huge catchman area where you can really make a difference in this county population. It offers a unique training environment where you are able to take complete ownership of your patients both in the ED and off service rotations such as ICU. I can’t imagine having trained anywhere else and feel so lucky to have had this opportunity, which I know has prepared me for all my future clinical, educational, and administrative endeavors!

Hobbies & Interests
I enjoy a number of outdoor activities such as mountain biking, snowboarding, rappelling, & diving (be it sky or SCUBA). I’m an art enthusiast in all its forms, but a terrible painter (through it hasn’t stopped me from trying). Since moving to TX I’ve taken up axe throwing. I travel as much as possible, from Afghanistan to Uganda (thus far). I jump at the opportunity to replace brakes, fix a dryer, or assemble the toughest of IKEA furniture. And every now and then I officiate a wedding.
Coolest Thing I've Done
The government said I can’t talk about it until records are unsealed, but it involves a horse, a helicopter, and explosives.
