I'm a native of Virginia; I did my undergraduate premed work at Bob Jones University. I returned home for medical school at the University of Virginia. The Air Force brought me to San Antonio, Texas, where I've learned to savor breakfast tacos, Americana country-roots music, and the Texas Hill Country. My wife and I also started our family here; our kids are all Texans. I like to recycle, homebrew, and work on my old house.
