Biography

I am a family and sports medicine physician specializing in comprehensive primary and musculoskeletal care of children, adults and families. I strive to partner with patients to help them stay active and reach their health goals, regardless of age or ability. I completed my family medicine residency here at Wake Forest and did a sports medicine fellowship at Virginia Tech and the Via College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am board certified in Family Medicine, Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, and certified in Sports Medicine. I see primary care patients at Peace Haven Family Medicine, sports medicine patients at Sports Medicine Stratford, and care for athletes at Winston Salem State University, North Forsyth High School and Wake Forest University. In addition, I serve as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Army National Guard and have more than 20 years of military service.

In my spare time I enjoy traveling with my family and visiting our national parks.
