Married, 3 kids, 1 dog . Love to spend time with family, stay active, exercise, and snow ski. Huge fan of the University of Michigan Wolverines.

I chose gastroenterology in order to help patients with a variety of gastrointestinal issues and to be on the front line of early cancer detection and treatment.
