About Me
After several years away, my family and I are thrilled to call Florida home once again! Outside of the OR, my wife and I stay busy keeping up with our three young children and exploring the beautiful Florida outdoors. Whether we are at the beach surfing, working on projects around the house, serving in our local church or exploring new parks, we love staying active and investing deeply in our community.
My philosophy of care is rooted in servant leadership and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of my patients. My goal is to partner with you in accomplishing your goals of care with excellence and integrity. I strive to empower you and your loved ones with the knowledge to make wise and confident healthcare decisions.
For me, practicing medicine is a direct extension of my faith and a calling to serve Christ and my neighbor. I believe that every single person is created in the image of God, with infinite worth, and that perspective drives me to work tirelessly for the health and well-being of our community. Outside of the hospital, my family and I take part in service projects through our local church as well as support several missions opportunities globally.
