get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

so much of what I see clinically (children who have been abused and children in foster care) is preventable. We have a unique opportunity to care for children and families in new and innovative ways that affect determinants of health and prevent them from ever having to walk through our doors.

I like working with kids because...

they have an innate ability to find energy and excitement in everything.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

there are tremendous opportunities to improve the lives of children and families in this region and an incredible collective vision for how to do so. I couldn't be more excited to be a part of this work.

Dayton Children's is special because...

we know who we want to be and who we want to serve. We want to provide the highest quality care to children and families right here in Dayton, without them ever having to leave their hometown.

my personal interests are...

I'm married with three young boys. When I'm not at work, I'm often at a hockey rink with one of them. I enjoy biking, reading, and cooking. I'm a Bengals fan in desperate need of a playoff victory.
