General Info

Over my 22-year career in the US Army, I learned to be a leader while gaining empathy for our wounded warriors as they live with devastating injuries to their feet and ankles. Caring for these soldiers was an honor and it prepared me for my career at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Cente 'm an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon specializing in sports medicine and arthroscopic procedures. I'm passionate about caring for patients and developing necessary procedures because lower extremity injuries can be very disabling and painful. I strive to be a good listener first, understanding my patients' expectations and goal s a prior farm kid, I greatly appreciated the opportunities given to me that allowed me to study medicine. In order to pay it forward, I'm an active mentor for residents and medical students, and give them opportunities to get involved in research and clinical activities. I have helped develop orthopedics surgical simulation training in order to improve patient safety while providing residents a safe, protected environment to grow and develop. Mentorship is paramount-balancing our faith, family, friends and a career can be difficult, but having a mentor makes it much easie eing an associate professor at The Ohio State University means I'm on the cutting edge of medicine-publishing research, learning new techniques and educating other surgeons as an associate master instructor of arthroscopy. My research is all directed at improving my patients' outcomes. I have published several new surgical techniques, and have worked to improve assistive devices (crutches) and the transition to a hands-free crutch. I'm also developing a dynamic foot and ankle research consortium to further enhance patient care. In my free time, I enjoy continuing to serve in the Army Reserve as well as four-wheeling, camping and fishing with my family and friends.
