About
I especially enjoy the challenge of presenting complex treatment options and possible side effects in a way that is understandable to everyone involved. After retiring from the US Army, I am fortunate to be living in my hometown, Charlotte, caring for the community that inspired me to become a doctor. When I am not working, my wife and I enjoy spending time with our two grown daughters, sailing, SCUBA diving and outdoor activities.
