Personal Statement

I was drawn to the field of cardiology because of the incredibly wide range of conditions and patients that I am able to care for. I am committed to personalized medicine and enjoy applying data to help create medical treatment and prevention strategies for each patient's unique characteristics, including genetics, lifestyle and medical history.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and daughter, pursuing fitness goals, including long-distance running, and cheering for my favorite sports teams.
