Life & Hobbies

I live in Asheville, NC, with my wife, who is also a nurse practitioner, and our senior dog, Mira. When I’m not at work, I enjoy hiking, driving along winding roads, playing simulator games, and occasionally visiting local breweries. A fun fact about me is that I can usually earn most dogs’ trust within about 10 minutes—and even some cats, though they’re a bit more selective!
