Medical School: UT - San Antonio
I was born in New Orleans and grew up moving back and forth between there and Houston. Fortunately none of the big hurricanes ever hit while I lived in either one. I went to Brigham Young University for college, and am still a die-hard fan for their sports teams. I took a break during undergrad and served a church mission for two years in Queens and Brooklyn, New York. I love NY, especially the mix of people, cultures, and ideas. I returned to BYU to study neuroscience and found opportunities to live in and visit Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic on medical related experiences. In 2006 I embarked on my greatest adventure and married my terrific wife Kim. We have since added two rambunctious kids and an energetic dog to the mix to make life even more exciting.
Outside of medicine I enjoy just about anything from sporting events to cultural activities to the great outdoors-camping, hiking, cycling, running, fishing, snowboarding, and scuba diving. It is even better when I can do any of these hobbies with my family in tow.
The people are what make this residency program stand out. The faculty and other residents combine excellent clinical skills with interesting lives outside the hospital. They are supportive, friendly, and committed to the residents. I look forward to all the water sports and activities available in Corpus. When not in the hospital or at home changing diapers, I hope to be surfing, sailing, kite boarding, kayaking, fishing, or enjoying long walks on the beach with my wife
