"I was born in Baton Rouge, LA but quickly moved to Houston when I was six. Shortly after graduating high school, I enlisted in the US Marine Corps as an Intelligence Analyst and was stationed in Virginia Beach, VA, Okinawa, Japan, and Camp Pendleton, CA.
Following the Marine Corps, I went on to complete my undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of Texas at Austin, a Master of Science in Developmental Biology at MD Anderson Cancer Center/UT Houston, and medical school at UT Health Science Center San Antonio. Residency training in Emergency Medicine and Board Certification (American Board of Emergency Medicine) followed.
(I like to tell my boys that I "Graduated from the 27th grade" whenever they complain about school)
My professional interests include preventative care, men's health, pain management, and critical care. Our family lives in Dripping Springs and when not in the office you can find me powerlifting, learning to fly, shooting guns and writing."
