Bio 

I was born and raised in Austin, TX and spent all my years in Texas prior to coming to Birmingham. I met my wife in med school and we felt like we both fit well into the UAB culture, so despite leaving home it was an easy decision to come to Birmingham. In the four years that have passed thus far, we have made amazing friendships, experienced incredible training, and thoroughly enjoyed the Birmingham area and all it has to offer. My wife is also currently training as a Pediatric Critical Care fellow here at UAB. Our family continues to grow with the additions of our daughter Hanna in 2021 and a baby boy due in Fall 2023. We have two wonderful pups: an Australian Shepherd named Wrigley, and June, the silliest little dog that we adopted from Decatur in 2020. No matter where the road takes us when our training is finished, we have loved Birmingham, UAB, and the people that make our programs so great. In my spare time, I love just hanging around with my family, fishing, playing the guitar/piano, board games, and painting. Most importantly, I’m a humongous Texas A&M fan.

What do you love most about being a UAB Radiology Resident? 

The people that I work with! My co-residents have become such great friends of mine, and we definitely are always willing to help each other out, both at work and outside of work.
