General Info

Medicine allows me to help others while fulfilling my interest in teaching. I always loved science in school and was drawn to a career in medicine for the opportunity to help others. \n Working in pediatrics was my goal before even starting medical school. I fell in love with endocrinology early in medical school, and that interest was confirmed during my residency. I was fortunate to be trained by leaders of the field during fellowship. Every day, I continue to learn more about this intriguing, evolving field. \n I am Novant Health's medical director for pediatric endocrinology in Charlotte. Our team is made up of physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, diabetes educators and dietitians working together to provide the best multidisciplinary care for our patients. \n In addition, I served on the board of directors of the Florida Camp for Children and Youth with Diabetes for a decade and was medical director of the sports camp from 2009 to 2014. \n I am a native of Jacksonville, Florida and completed both my residency and fellowship at the University of Florida where I met my wife. After completing fellowship, I stayed at the University of Florida as a faculty member of the pediatric endocrinology team from 2009 to 2022. \n Our family moved to Charlotte in 2022, and my wife and I both joined Novant Health as providers. \n We enjoy so much of what Charlotte has to offer, including pro sports teams, concerts and local entertainment. We also enjoy traveling near and far.
