I completed medical school at the University of Minnesota before making the move to
Corpus Christi for residency. Outside of the ED, you’ll usually find me outdoors. I enjoy
fishing, staying active, and enjoying the warm weather whenever I can. My wife and I
are excited to welcome our first child, and I’m looking forward to becoming a dad! I’m
always up for a workout, exploring new places, or joining an intramural sports league
when the opportunity arises.
One of the biggest reasons I chose CHRISTUS Spohn was the people. From my
interview through my audition rotation, the residents and faculty were incredibly
welcoming, genuine, and fun to work with. It was clear that the program is committed to
exceptional patient care and outstanding hands-on training. Combined with the
opportunity to live in Corpus Christi, it felt like the right fit from day one and quickly felt
like home.
