The job of a doctor has many parts. I get to perform procedures, provide medical treatment and work closely with patients to manage care plans. Some medical specialties are focused more on one of these areas than another. Since I enjoy all three, I'm lucky to have found cardiology. This field gives me a great balance between completing treatments and procedures, and getting to know those in my care. \n Electrophysiology has always been my favorite part of cardiology. I especially enjoy being able to explain arrhythmias to my patients so they can make more informed decisions about their care. I also use my skills to educate other providers. At the University of North Carolina, I was recognized by residents as an outstanding educator. It makes me proud to know their patients will also benefit from what I am able to teach. \n When talking about my patients, I often say, I work for them. I am not just a caregiver; I want to be a partner. That means big things, like listening to each patient and addressing their concerns, and smaller things, like respecting their time by not keeping them waiting. When we work together, we accomplish better outcomes. \n I am always looking for ways to do the most good. Once, I was able to help organize a mission trip to Bolivia where I worked alongside other providers to implant pacemakers in patients who otherwise would not have had access to that medical care. This greatly improved their quality of life, and I am fortunate to have been part of that mission. \n My wife and I moved from Pensacola, Florida, to Wilmington so we could raise our family here. I have loved this area since spending time training at the University of North Carolina, and feel lucky to be back in the Tar Heel State. When I am not spending time with my family, I enjoy tennis, golf, pickleball and basketball.

Heart care is a family passion. My father was a cardiothoracic surgeon, and his love of the heart rubbed off on me. I was fortunate to attend Duke University, where I majored in biomedical engineering. It was there that I figured out how to blend my love of cardiology with my engineering background, leading me to the field of cardiac electrophysiology. \n Electrophysiology can be a complicated field, but I want my patients to understand the parts that are important to them so they can make informed decisions about their care. You will often see me take out my dry erase board to outline steps of different procedures. I want to answer all questions because I know being comfortable with and confident in care can help lead to better outcomes. \n In addition to the time I spend with my patients, I also devote time to professional organizations including the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS). These groups allow me to collaborate with providers from across the country, which benefits my patients. My patients also benefit from my involvement in clinical trials across the field of cardiology. \n Along with my wife and three kids, I love living in Wilmington. Together, we enjoy outdoor activities and the beach. We all love swimming, and encourage everyone in our area to learn to swim since water is all around us. Even our labrador retrievers love to swim!
