Chandler is thrilled to continue his residency training at UAB and to spend a little time exploring the city of Birmingham. He enjoys all types of outdoor activities and plays soccer, spikeball, volleyball, and golf. He enjoys running in order to stay in shape and a way to relieve stress from sub-par golf. His other interests are water sports, movies, tv shows and video games.
