ABOUT ME…
My path to becoming a doctor was nontraditional. After two years of college, I bought a family photography business and worked with my wife in the studio. Ten years later, the studio was asked to do the photography for a marketing campaign for the local hospital. Listening to the stories of patients and doctors in the campaign inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. My journey through medical school led me to pursue internal medicine as a specialty. I love that it gives me the ability to treat a wide range of medical problems and feel that it plays an important part in helping me to care for my patient’s overall health needs. My wife and I were high school sweethearts growing up in Georgia and have enjoyed living in North Carolina for many years. The people in this area have been good to us, and I wish to return that kindness through the great medical care.

ABOUT ME…
It has been one of the great pleasures and honors of my life to be able to care for and become friends with the many great people of Alamance County over the two decades I have practiced.  I have always tried to treat my patients like the friends and neighbors they are. I treasure the ability we have had to laugh, celebrate and cry together during some of life’s important moments. As many of my patients are aware from knowing me as a doctor and friend in the community, I have several other interests in life. First and foremost, I consider myself a family man who loves to spend time with his family. I am also an avid reader who enjoys fiction as well as an eclectic variety of other books ranging from philosophy and religion to astronomy, history and sports topics. I like to boat and fish when time allows and I do enjoy a round of golf (as cliché as that may be for a doctor). I am able to provide primary care to all adult ages and I think I have a thriving practice after 20 plus years of practice. I do get added satisfaction helping the very vulnerable patients I care for who are confined to nursing facilities and I hope I have made them more comfortable over time.
