Biography
I chose a career in medicine after early experiences shaped my understanding of health, recovery and resilience. As a competitive athlete, I experienced injuries firsthand and learned how skilled, thoughtful care can restore both function and confidence. Watching family members navigate illnesses further deepened my desire to help people heal and live healthier lives. What motivates me every day is caring for patients in a way that empowers them to stay active, recover well and take ownership of their long term health. My goal is to make a meaningful, lasting impact not only on my patients, but also on the families who support them.
My approach to care combines evidence based medicine with clear communication, efficiency and shared decision making. I believe care should be individualized, practical and aligned with each patient’s goals, ensuring that patients feel heard, informed and confident in the plan we create together.
I’m a board certified family medicine physician with fellowship training in sports medicine. My clinical practice includes primary care, sports medicine, urgent care, procedural medicine and virtual care, allowing me to provide comprehensive care across a wide range of conditions.
I have particular expertise in musculoskeletal injuries, non operative orthopedic care, diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound and chronic disease management.
My areas of focus include:
- Musculoskeletal and sports injuries, including ultrasound guided injections (knee, shoulder, hip, SI joint, bursitis, plantar fascia, carpal tunnel, hand, finger, wrist, trigger finger, tennis elbow), viscosupplementation and prolotherapy
- Fracture care using EXOS casting systems, as well as traditional casting, splinting and bracing
- Chronic disease management, including diabetes care with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), hypertension, hyperlipidemia and weight management
- Urgent care procedures such as fracture management, laceration repair, wound care and incision and drainage
Before entering medicine, I was a Division I soccer student athlete at Winthrop University. I was named an Academic All American, received the NCAA Walter Byers Graduate Scholarship and was selected in the 2012 MLS Draft. These experiences continue to inform my approach to athlete care and recovery.
During my training, I was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society, and I received awards recognizing leadership, academic achievement and service, including the UNC School of Medicine Eugene S. Mayer Community Service Award.
Professionally, I have served as a team physician for organizations including Wake Forest University Athletics. I’ve provided medical coverage for high school, collegiate and professional sports, and I contribute to sports medicine education through presentations and authorship.
Outside of medicine, my faith and church are central to my life. I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two children, and we value staying active together as a family. I enjoy hiking, running, soccer, paddleboarding, guitar, reading and traveling.
