Medical School: UTMB - Galveston
I was born and raised in Mission, Texas, about 5 minutes from the US-Mexico Border. I am the third of five rambunctious children in my family. I attended the University of Texas Pan American in Edinburgh for my undergraduate studies and majored in Physics and Mathematics. To make money during college I worked selling fuel at a race track. I eventually migrated north to Galveston for medical school were I met my amazing wife, who is from Corpus Christi.
I enjoy spending my free time with my family (2 year old daughter and wife), fishing, hunting, and being outdoors. My wife and I enjoy pawning our daughter off on unsuspecting relatives and traveling as much as possible. Corpus Christi has amazing weather, great food, and lots of things to do.
I was fortunate to do an away rotation in the ED at CHRISTUS Spohn Memorial during medical school. I was very pleased with my experience and the program. What stood out most to me about the program is the level of training, experience, and independence that residents in the program receive. Being one of only two residency programs in the hospital affords the CHRISTUS Spohn emergency medicine residency program many unique opportunities for great learning. The residency allows for great autonomy and excellent clinical experiences. Corpus Christi is an amazing coastal city and I enjoy the easy access to recreational sports and fishing. In addition, Corpus has great schools for my daughter.
