Medical School: Perelman School of Medicine Undergraduate: US Naval Academy

Hometown? None - Army brat, moved every 2-3 years growing up; then 11 years as a Marine officer (most recently San Diego)
Why did you choose Penn Ortho? As home student I identified with the camaraderie and teamwork I saw amongst the residents, which reminded me of my time as military pilot. The challenging, high-volume and well-balanced training, with a strong focus on trauma, and true graduated autonomy made Penn a perfect place to stay.
Hobbies and Interests Outside of Work? Running, computers, machine learning, aviation, military
Favorite part of living in Philadelphia? Proximity to historic sites. Great restaurant/food scene. Terrific sports culture. Family.
