I grew up in central Ohio before attending Huntington University in Indiana. As an undergraduate, I first gained my interest in medicine and surgery while volunteering on international mission projects in Myanmar, Thailand, Dominican Republic, and Haiti. I returned to Columbus and completed medical school at the Ohio State University and my surgical residency at Mount Carmel Medical Center.I moved to Wisconsin in 2008 after completing my training. Here, I sought to develop a broad general surgery practice to serve both the local community as well as patients abroad. I enjoy caring for a wide variety of patients, treating a wide array of conditions, and collaborating with the community of clinicians in the Froedtert Northeast Medical Group. I have continued volunteering overseas, taking teams of local health care workers on international service projects on an annual basis. I serve in a formal physician leadership role in the organization and I’m both excited and proud to see our health care team grow in partnership with Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin. I live in Manitowoc with my wife and two daughters. I enjoy cycling, watercolor painting, backcountry camping, reading, and drinking more than my fair share of good coffee.Access to quality surgical care, ideally close to one's home, is a fundamental part of effective health care. Surgical patients often suffer from burdensome diseases or conditions, but the treatments themselves can also take their toll. I seek to serve my community by offering safe, minimally invasive surgery for a variety of conditions in a timely fashion. I try to minimize patients' need to travel, and I follow through with my patients until they have completely healed. I seek to help patients understand both their illness and their treatment, empowering them to become active participants in their successful recovery. I actively communicate with patients' other health care providers, taking a team-based approach to surgical care and recovery.
