"Medicine is the perfect blend of science, art, and communication, and I love that it gives you the opportunity to hone your craft over years of practice."

Background

I was inspired to pursue a career in medicine by watching my father, also a physician, build meaningful relationships with his patients over the years. That early influence shaped my approach to family medicine: I believe in seeing patients and their families over time, building trust, and caring for their needs through every stage of life. At Hopscotch, I bring a particular passion for preventative medicine, chronic disease management, and sports medicine.

Life & Hobbies

I recently moved to Asheville with my wife, daughter, and 2 dogs. In my free time I enjoy traveling, watching movies, hiking, playing tennis, and water activities like fishing and kayaking. Fun fact about me: I worked at Disney World one summer in college, and despite my move to North Carolina, I remain a proud and devoted Philadelphia Eagles fan!
