My father was a family physician in a small North Carolina town for over 50 years, and my admiration for - and loving relationship with - him helped shaped my desire to pursue a career in medicine. \n So did my first personal exposure to medicine. As a 5-year-old-boy, I spent almost two weeks in the hospital receiving treatment for Rocky Mountain spotted fever. That experience not only helped develop my personal faith in God, but led to a strong belief that my purpose in life is helping others. \n I attended N.C. State University as a scholarship athlete and finished my swimming career as an NCAA All-American and ACC champion. After graduation from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and after further medical training in Charlotte and Chicago, I relocated to Wilmington in 2003 with my wife. \n I had visited the Wilmington area often as a child since both my parents were raised here and graduated from New Hanover High School. Those visits ultimately led to a desire to settle down here. My wife and I now call Wilmington home - as do our three children. \n Since 2003, I have been an attending physician at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in cardiology and electrophysiology. I am board-certified in cardiovascular disease and electrophysiology and an active member and recognized Fellow of the American College of Cardiology as well as a Fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society. \n My major clinical interest has always been direct patient care in electrophysiology. I consider it an honor to cultivate lasting personal relationships with my patients. \n When not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children, coaching youth athletics, spending time outdoors - especially at the beach - and cheering on the N.C. State Wolfpack.

I went into general surgery so I could treat a wide range of conditions and found I enjoyed not just the variety - but the vast improvement many patients experience after surgery. We often treat lifestyle-limiting diseases, and seeing patients improve after surgery - and accomplish things they couldn't before - is very fulfilling. \n My approach to healthcare - and to surgical interventions, specifically - is patient-centered. My aim is to understand my patient's goals and values and then develop a surgical plan that helps them accomplish those goals. \n I'm a proud Eagle Scout, a recipient of the Lucius Blanchard Carolina Family Scholarship and winner of the UNC Department of Surgery's George Sheldon, MD Leadership Award in 2019 which is given to a 4th year medical student for outstanding academic and clinical achievement, and who possesses personal characteristics that promise a future leadership role in surgery. \n Outside the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my wife and son. We enjoy being on the water - whether that's at the beach or lake, running, walking our dog, Nellie, and watching basketball and football. My wife and I are both avid UNC Tar Heel fans. During basketball season, you can find us cheering on the Tarheels every chance we get.
