Why did you decide to pursue a career in medicine?
I have always liked science and disease study. I also like to help people with their medical issues. One reason I love anesthesia is that I enjoy being able to help people during their surgery or procedure and then be comfortable when they are done.
What can patients expect from you?
That I am very knowledgeable and stay up to date on the latest anesthesia practices. I am constantly observing to keep them safe during their surgery. I want them to be confident that I am capable of helping them make the best choices for their anesthesia needs. The anesthesia provider does not get to spend a lot of time with the patient beforehand so we must build a level of trust that puts the patient at ease in a short amount of time.
What do you like to do in your downtime?
I love spending time with my family. I enjoy coaching youth sports, particularly little league. I enjoy being outside, hunting, and fishing. I also like to read.
