I believe the best care happens when patients feel genuinely heard and are active partners in their own health. My approach is collaborative and grounded in honest conversation — I try to meet patients where they are, explain things clearly, and help them make informed decisions that fit their real lives.

I’ve been in family medicine for many years and genuinely value the long-term relationships this specialty makes possible. There’s something irreplaceable about knowing a patient over time — their history, their family, their goals — and I consider that continuity one of the great privileges of primary care.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking — especially barbecue and experimenting with new recipes — and spending time with my family. I’m also a collector of fine bourbons, handyman wannabe, and Cleveland and Ohio State sport enthusiast.
