About

The excellent physician project is my attempt to be intentional about life.  The title represents not a perception of accomplishment but the representation of an ideal or goal.  We all have just one opportunity to use and enjoy the greatest gift that we have been given - life.  My goal is to in accordance to properly aligned priorities, without regret and in fulfillment of my purpose; to live excellently.

​

Professionally, I am a board-certified Emergency Physician with a Focused Practice Designation in Emergency Ultrasonography.

​

I have a bachelor of science in Biology from Cedarville University.  I attended medical school at the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Health and Science.  I completed my residency at the Case Western University/MetroHealth Medical Center/Cleveland Clinic Emergency Medicine residency program.  After graduation I did a one year fellowship at MetroHealth in Emergency Sonography.  

​

I work clinically at an urban, level 1 trauma center that serves as our region’s safety net hospital where I am a faculty physician in the emergency department.  I hold an academic appointment as an associate professor at Case Western University School of Medicine.  

 

In addition to my clinical practice, I lead our emergency ultrasound division and am actively involved in teaching ultrasound and producing educational content.

​

But more important than my professional identity, I am a husband and father.  My wife and I have 5 kids.  As a family we are actively involved in our church.  We enjoy traveling and family adventures.  Personally, I enjoy reading, weight training, hunting and working on various projects.
