About Me

After completing medical school, my wife and I moved to Florida to pursue further training. I specialized in family medicine in Tallahassee, while my wife completed a dental subspecialty fellowship training in Gainesville. We had our first daughter while I was in residency and our second at the start of my sports medicine fellowship in St. Petersburg. We enjoy North Florida and are excited to call Jacksonville our home. We love outdoor activities and sports, running and going to the beach.

I've been privileged to specialize in family medicine with fellowship training in sports medicine. I believe in treating the patient as a whole person and, together as a team, partner with the patient to provide the best recommendations for health maintenance and disease prevention. I'm passionate about activity and exercise as an integral part of health and make recommendations about safe sports and activity and treat injuries to ensure a safe return.

I enjoy providing medical coverage to school sporting events as well as local area events. I look forward to seeing you in my office.
