About

Biography

I'm a pediatric plastic surgery fellow specializing in craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery. I look forward to further developing my skills through an excellent year of training under this fantastic faculty at the country's number-one children's hospital.

I was drawn to pediatric plastic surgery in medical school, and my interest in helping the pediatric population has grown even stronger. The ability to impact children's lives immediately and establish longitudinal relationships with them into adulthood throughout multiple phases of their care is a uniquely desirable component of this subspecialty for me.

I'm also a researcher working to improve cleft and craniofacial care outcomes.

When I'm not working, I enjoy attending local sporting events (University of Cincinnati, University of Louisville) and playing volleyball and pickleball. I like traveling both domestically and internationally with my wife, who is also a plastic surgeon. We hope to one day combine our passion for patient care with our love of travel into medical mission trips to further support international communities in need.
