Undergraduate: University of North Texas
Medical School: Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine
Residency: University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix/Payson Family Medicine Career Interests: I am passionate about full-spectrum family medicine with strong interests in psychiatry, preventive medicine, and caring for underserved populations. I value the opportunity to provide continuity of care that supports both the physical and mental health of my patients.
Why Rural Family Medicine: I’ve always been drawn to rural communities—not just because of their need, but because of their resilience and sense of connection. Practicing in these settings means becoming part of the community, using a wide breadth of skills, and advocating for patients who often face limited access to care.
Why U of A College of Medicine – Phoenix/Payson: From the start, the program’s commitment to rural health and supportive teaching stood out. The faculty were warm, passionate, and genuinely invested in both the community and the growth of their residents. Payson offers a meaningful place to train, serve, and grow as a physician—one where I knew I could thrive.
Hobbies and Activities: I enjoy cooking, camping, hiking, and working on cars. Most of all, I love spending time with my wife and kids.

Medical School: Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine- St. George, Utah
Residency: University of Arizona College of Medicine- Phoenix/Payson Family Medicine
Career Interests: I aim to build a career in full-spectrum family medicine, focusing on rural and underserved areas. I want to provide continuous, relationship-based care for all ages, including preventive, chronic, and mental health. I'm passionate about women’s health, addiction medicine, and community outreach.
Why Rural Family Medicine: Rural family medicine attracts me because of meaningful physician-patient relationships, diverse clinical experiences, and the opportunity to make a difference in resource-limited settings. Rural family physicians often serve as healthcare cornerstones, managing various conditions and building long-term bonds across all ages.
Why U of A College of Medicine- Phoenix/Payson: I was drawn to the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Phoenix for its focus on training compassionate, community-oriented physicians and emphasis on rural medicine in communities like Payson. This residency provides immersive, hands-on learning in a beautiful setting (lots of elk!), allowing me to develop procedural skills, learn from dedicated preceptors, and experience the rewards of rural care.
Hobbies and Activities: Beyond medicine, I find fulfillment through outdoor activities like mountain biking, hiking, snowboarding, and rock climbing with my two goldendoodles. These help me stay grounded and energized. I also enjoy organizing events and fostering community, reflecting my values of connection, wellness, and discovery, shaping my personal life and approach to medicine.
