About Me

I have been working at Orthopaedic Associates - Salisbury for 10 years. I have a Bachelors Degree in Biology from North Carolina State and Masters of PA studies from Methodist University. We provide a variety of services at our office: total joint replacement, arthroscopy for shoulder and knee, cortisone and visco supplementation, fracture care. I enjoy splitting my time between the office and surgery. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending my time outdoors and with my wife Amy, and our two daughters, Bree and Laina.
