I thank God everyday for the unique opportunity to stand along side of my patients and to participate in their cancer “journey.” It is a privilege and the reason that I chose radiation oncology as my career. When not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my 2 kids and my wife. I have enjoyed coaching my kids in sports throughout the year. I also enjoy taking part in my local church activities and fellowship.
