My wife, Isadora, and I are from Worcester, MA, where we spent most of our lives before getting married and moving to Asheville. I graduated from Providence College with degrees in Philosophy and Biology and completed medical school and residency in Family Medicine at UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester, MA. I am a first-generation college and medical graduate who has worked a plethora of jobs, including merchandise salesman at Gillette stadium for 15 years. The adversity of being raised by a single mother who worked two jobs and a father with a physical disability shaped my path to primary care sports medicine. I am privileged to use my platform to advocate for equality, particularly in the areas of Food Justice and food insecurity.

Sports have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing baseball, football, basketball, and tennis. After three right knee ACL reconstructions, I still enjoy pick-up basketball, snowboarding, and fishing. I believe that an athlete’s identity and overall health are inextricably linked, and it is my goal to help people thrive through sports and fitness. I am passionate about sports nutrition and exercise physiology and look forward to a rewarding career in primary care sports medicine!

I grew up in Eastern North Carolina, a town on the coast – Jacksonville. I have a passion for Public Health and got a BS in Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill…Go Heels! I wanted to grow this passion so I got a Masters in Public Health at Campbell University and stayed there for Medical School.

I’m excited to move to Western North Carolina and work with new people, a new community and a new team. I look forward to utilizing my work and training in the Public Health sector, my commitment to community health and preventative medicine. Being from the beach I really love boating and kayaking, I’m also a huge fan of hiking and a total Harry Potter nerd…quiz me any day!
