As a health care provider at Sanitas, my patients are my priority. I treat them as family and my goals for them are that they live healthy, long and fulfilling lives. A good day at work means my patients who’ve been struggling to achieve their health goals have finally reached their desired targets. This lets me know that the care I’m providing is having a positive impact on their life and is a very rewarding feeling. I was born and raised in Middletown, Ohio but currently live in Germantown, Tennessee. I love the culture of Germantown and it’s a privilege to be able to serve the community here. Before working at Sanitas I had a twenty-four-year military career as a Marine Corps pilot and Navy flight surgeon. I decided to go into medicine because it offers the best combination of intellectual challenge and meaningful work through helping patients. I want you to know that at Sanitas each patient is unique and the approach to their care is based on everyone’s specific needs, concerns, and treatment goals. When I take off my coat, I enjoy home improvement projects and remodeling as a hobby. I also enjoy various weight training and fitness activities in my free time.
