I love spending time with my daughter, my wife, and my dog. I enjoy staying active. Even during residency, I completed a marathon and joined the 1,000-pound weightlifting club in the same month. I have played soccer and golf my entire life. I once competed in a pro-am event with Hale Irwin at the 2007 Walmart First Tee Open at the famous Pebble Beach! I enjoy exploring new hobbies, and I am presently learning a variety of new skills, including photography, shooting travel videos, and video-editing with Final Cut Pro. I love to talk about my many hobbies, so if we have a common interest, let me know!
