About

About Me:

I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska as the oldest of four siblings. I am a huge Nebraska Cornhusker fan, so any Saturday I am not working in the fall will be spent cheering on the Huskers. I am a huge sports fan, so I spend most of my time either watching or playing sports like basketball or golf. My wife, Tessa, and I love to try local restaurants and breweries. We love having food and drinks with some live music on a nice fall night.

Why I Chose Peoria:

I chose Peoria because the people that I met on my interview day made a great impression about how much they loved the program and the people they were surrounded by at work. It was easy to tell how much they enjoyed working together. Even with these high expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by how kind and supportive everyone is. The hospital is very nice and the resources are abundant. I can tell this place is going to give me the training I need to become the best physician I can be.
