About me
I got into healthcare because I wanted to help people but knew it would be better for everyone if I stayed away from the OR and patient care, so I decided to work on the financial side and be a patient/physician advocate. I enjoy the problem solving on the fly and assisting patients through our complex healthcare system. Most of my work experience has been in the private sector until moving to Tucson and joining the University of Arizona and stepping into the academic side of things. Now I get to see a whole other side of healthcare regarding teaching and growing our residents into great Family Medicine physicians.
In my spare time I enjoy hiking with my wife and dog. We also enjoy cooking (my wife and I, that is. Our dog enjoys the eating part) and traveling. I’m originally from Akron so, by no fault of my own, I am a Cleveland Browns fan. My buddies and I try to go to an away game every year (sadly, I have yet to see a road victory but always hopeful).
