Just a little bit about me:
I am from Mountain Green, Utah, and attended Utah State University, where I majored in Biology. I was totally lost during my sophomore year on what to do as a career and was earning very average grades. I decided to shadow an ER doctor and was essentially hooked from that point on. My grades even magically improved once I found what I wanted to do with my life. I moved to Las Vegas with my wife, to attend Touro University Nevada for medical school. We added what we thought was a mini goldendoodle named Alta to our family, but she grew to 65 lbs. It was the best scam we have ever been a part of! I enjoy binge-watching shows with my wife, mountain biking, skiing, playing pickleball, and online Catan with friends across the country. I’m obsessed with late-night television shows and their hosts. I’m a proud Swiftie!
Why I chose Christus Health - Texas A&M, Spohn Emergency Medicine Residency:
I never got the chance to rotate here in Corpus Christi but did a last-minute change up of my rank list after my interview here. The interview just spoke to me because I realized I needed a place where I would be prepared to work in a community setting and be ready for whatever would be thrown at me. Here in Corpus, they spoke so much about how this is an unopposed residency program and we would get to do as many procedures as we would like. They also emphasized that we would be responsible for the sickest patients on our very first day, all while receiving plenty of support from faculty and co-residents. I have found that to be so true and feel so happy I am getting this experience in residency so I can leave here being the best doctor possible.
It very cool to live in a place so different from my previous experiences. I have taken well to hanging, biking, and running at the beach. I am even learning to kiteboard. I have been thrown in the air and dragged around like a ragdoll, but it has been a fun learning process.
