Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I was passionate about helping others and improving the health of my community. It has always given me great pride to help those in their time of need and be a source of stability and comfort. I felt I was best suited for medicine because of my desire to always improve and strive for excellence. The most rewarding part of my day is interacting with patients and learning about their lives.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I strive for excellence in every patient interaction. It is my goal to make sure the patient feels cared for and has complete understanding of the plan when they leave the office. I want my patients to be active participants in their care, striving for healing and better health.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I enjoy spending time with my wife and children. I enjoy outdoor activities like skiing and running. I also enjoy weight lifting and other physical exercise. I am passionate about Penn State University and athletics.
