I grew up in Danville, Calif., and now I call Danville, Pa., my home! I had the chance to do a rotation at Geisinger as a medical student and was amazed at the culture here. Coming from medical school in the Los Angeles area to Geisinger was a big change, but I would not have it any other way.
There is no other program I know of that has charming, small-town vibes in such a large, academic center. Geisinger offers all the opportunities for career development a resident could ever want! I was so impressed with the teaching and camaraderie I felt here. It really is a family. I have a family of my own, and I will always be so grateful that I put my wife and kids into the car and drove across the country to be here, to make a new home and grow our family more in this wonderful place.
I am so humbled and thrilled to be one of the medicine chief residents this year. If you have any questions about our program, please do not hesitate to reach out to me and ask me more!

Undergraduate: Pennsylvania State University
I grew up not too far away from Geisinger in Allentown, Pa. From there, I attended Pennsylvania State University for undergraduate and then off to Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medical School. I was fortunate to have matched at Geisinger with my wife (who now works as a hospitalist at Geisinger Medical Center). From the moment we arrived on campus, we knew Geisinger was the place we wanted to be. The camaraderie of the residents was evident and created such a warm and welcoming environment.
Geisinger has given me every opportunity I could have asked for during residency training. When I'm not at the hospital, you can usually find me on a hike with our dog at one of the many state parks in the area or enjoying a sunset on our backyard porch. Danville has now become our home and I am so thankful.
I’m very excited to spend the next year as one of our chief residents. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have about our program. Hope to see you soon!
