"I received my M.D. from Indiana University in 1997. I completed Family Medicine Residency at Ball Hospital in Muncie, Indiana in 2000. With 17 years of full-time ER experience, I can treat a wide spectrum of injuries and illnesses, from newborns to the elderly. I am board certified in Family Medicine. I live in Austin with my wife Jill, and our two children, Max and Kate. I love great literature (Victor Hugo and Ayn Rand are my favorites), great music, and great art. I have a special interest in the work of Maria Montessori, as well as in snorkeling and scuba diving. I am a saltwater aquarium enthusiast with a soft spot for clownfish. I founded Direct MD Austin in December 2013, and I’m also a proud founding member of the DPC Alliance."
