As the sandwich child (2nd born) of four siblings, I've mastered the finesse of navigating hand-me-downs, and the secret struggle of middle-child syndrome to stand out. Ever since I could pronounce "stethoscope," I've been on a mission to become a doctor.

Born into a family where church pews felt like a second home, my parents led by faith, and as Pastor’s kids (PKs), we had front-row seats. But it wasn't until I started a family of my own, facing the rollercoaster of adulthood, that my personal relationship to God became more defined. It turns out, adulting requires more than my parents' faith hand-me-downs—it needs a custom fit.

Professionally, I'm not just a physician—I’m an educator, advocate, and mentor. I’m passionate about transforming medical jargon into 'aha!' moments for my patients and mentees alike.

At home, I wear many hats: a loving wife, a supermom (cape included), a fun aunty, and that relative who's always ready to share the gruesome tales of the Emergency Room. My family and friends are my rock, the laugh track of my life, and the reality check I never knew I needed.

In my faith, I've discovered it’s less about "having it all figured out" and more about trusting God and coming along for the ride. My faith and my stethoscope now go hand-in-hand, careful listening for instructions and next step, through life's mysteries, one day at a time.

So, let's embark on this adventure-. After all, discovering the heart of God and the art of medicine, interwoven with love? That's a page-turner I’d read any day!

Your favorite nurse is here! I am really looking forward to all the different things we will unpack in this space. I have had to unlearn everything I thought I knew in this journey of faith and start fresh. The walk with God is an interesting one and reveals new things about ourselves every day. I hope this medium will bring you some clarity in your walk with God and even if you aren’t there yet, don’t worry, we can walk together.

I’m the drug guy of the clan. While we were all raised in the church I was a “late bloomer” as it pertains to my faith. What moved me to want to write and share is that my journey has been rather unique in some ways but I’ve had so much clarity that it ignited an interest in wanting to share my experiences to hopefully debunk some things but more so with a hope that the transparency I provide that I sort of wish I had growing up, might compel some to desire a relationship with God which I can attest has truly stabilized me no matter what has gone on in my life thus far. (And if you’re wondering, YES! This is a run on sentence and a lot of my posts can be identified by this. Sorry!)
