I graduated from OU-SCM. Prior to medical school I spent nearly 11 years in the Army as a medic and deployed three times. I am married to my beautiful wife Claire and have three sons ranging from 13 through 9 years old. I usually spend my free time taking kids to their activities, wood working and working out. The thing that motivates me most in medicine is simply getting to talk to my patients and I hope to go overseas in some capacity when I graduate residency.
