Biography

I am a classic Tallahassee transplant. My family and I moved here in 2017 to be closer to my wife’s parents. 

I grew up with three siblings, and we were raised by parents who were both the first generation in their family to go to college. My family and upbringing gave me the values that I try to live by every day – be open, kind and honest; take responsibility for your actions; believe the best of people and they will try to live up to your expectations; help improve your team and the community around you.

I became a pediatrician because children are reliant and trusting of others to help them. When they are sick or scared, a good pediatrician recognizes the unique vulnerabilities of children, as well as their resiliency and strength. A good pediatrician strives to help families make better and informed decisions about their future health and well being. A good pediatrician lets parents enjoy their children more and worry about them less.
