Why did you choose Penn Ortho?  I chose Penn for the resident camaraderie and fantastic operative and clinical training. From the trauma backbone for operative autonomy to subspecialty training in every field at clinical sites 10 minutes from each other in Philly, Penn has it all.
Hobbies and Interests Outside of Work?  I enjoy spending time with my two Golden Retrievers, Sawyer and Iggy and my wife. Beers and late night hangouts with my class. Video games and driving to the Jersey Shore.
Favorite part of living in Philadelphia?  The food scene is amazing here, there are so many world class restaurants to try with new ones always opening. The drive to the Jersey Shore for a beach escape is so easy as is the proximity to New York and DC for weekend excursions. Philly is affordable and fun.
