Running Start:

I started in high school track and cross country in 2002, kept running as an outlet for my anxiety/stress throughout medical school and dermatology training. Running is a way for me to connect with my brother and uncle!

Running Role Model:

Dathan Ritzenhein - watched him run high school cross country, in college, and then run in the Olympic Trials and Olympics! It is very inspirational watching all of his hard work pay off and makes him more relatable given that he grew up close to me!

Fun Facts:

I love my job as a dermatologist
I am a dog dad to @guinnesstheshichonpup
My wife is a radiation oncologist!
