Brief bio:

Born and raised in Ohio. Came to surgery after a brief stint in the Army as a medic. I am married, with one kid and a dog, and we live a stone's throw from the hospital. In my free time, I am mostly hanging out with the family or taking care of things around the house, though I do find time for a few hobbies, as well as research. I look forward to a career in minimally invasive and endoscopic surgery.
