I grew up in Kaysville, UT and moved to Logan, UT when I was 11. In Logan my love grew more for family, football, and learning about the human body in my high school anatomy class. After high school, I went on to serve a mission for my church in Peru where I found a passion in helping others and also learned to speak Spanish. I did my undergrad in Idaho and also met my wife there! In 2021 my wife and I packed up our car and made the trek out to New Jersey for medical school, where we have called home for the last 4 years. We welcomed 2 boys into our family during this time and they keep us on our toes! We’ve come full circle and I’m excited to share the beauty of Utah with my family and continue my training in EM!

Interests & Hobbies
I love wrangling my two boys with my wife. We like going for walks together, playing at the nearby park, and getting ice cream. I'm an aspiring baker and am currently trying to perfect my mom's chocolate chip cookie and pizza recipe. I love to get outside and go for a run while listening to my favorite podcast (Hardcore History). After our boys are in bed, you can find me reading a book, beating my wife at Mario Kart, or watching Star Wars (or a rom-com if it's my wife's night to choose the movie).
Why Utah?
Growing up in the area, I knew the amazing reputation the University of Utah has, so I always knew it would be on my list of programs for residency. During my interview, I was struck not only by the quality of the program, but noticed how happy all the residents that I talked to were. Finding a family-friendly residency was also important to me, and the U exceeded my expectations. It made ranking the U first an easy choice!
