About Me: I grew up in Wisconsin and Florida before going to Notre Dame for my undergrad degree. After a year of AmeriCorps in Pittsburgh, I went to Tulane for my medical school training, and also ended up meeting Elizabeth, my wife, who is a Pediatric Hospitalist fellow here at UAB. We both did residency in Memphis at Le Bonheur and are thrilled to be continuing our training at UAB. My research and clinical interests include pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary disease in Sickle Cell patients, and aerodigestive/dysphagia.
