Home Town: Sikeston, MO
When I study medicine, I most enjoying learning about: The unique intricacies and details that vary person to person which can dictate our response to treatment. It is truly incredible to understand that we are all humans yet personalized in our own ways.
Things that make me unique are: I feel like my name is pretty unique, but also I think my ability to remember obscure facts, events, and names.
I’m not only a doctor, I also like to: spend time with my wife Lauren and our dog Jake, play disc golf, watch sports and just enjoy life.
To get myself motivated I think of: everyone who is counting on me and also the opportunity I have been blessed with to impact others in a positive way.

I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and…: everyone during my interview was so welcoming. It was pretty obvious they enjoyed being around each other, which is something I valued. Additionally, the opportunity to be at such an impressive hospital facility serving an entire state is a dream.
