Hometown: Kenosha, WI
Medical School: Medical College of Wisconsin
Hobbies: I love working out at the gym and lifting weights, spending time with my wife and baby girl (Ariella), and playing PC games with friends after a long day of work
Fun Fact: My younger brother and I are nerds for PC gaming and have built our own PCs together from scratch!
Why Iowa: I am originally from the Midwest and enjoy the friendly, neighborly attitude that most people from around here give off. Both my wife and I are Midwesterners, and our families are all in Wisconsin, so we wanted to stay close by to make traveling back home less of a hassle. When I interviewed , I was so impressed with the camaraderie of the anesthesia residents (even through Zoom since I interviewed during the COVID era) that I knew that this was the group I wanted to join. Since being here, I can say that the faculty are great to work with and have a lot to teach from experience that I have integrated into my training. Iowa City is a great city to have things to do if you are looking for a night out due to the undergraduate population being prominent in the downtown area but is also very family oriented for those who have kids or are thinking of starting a family during their time in training. My wife and I have been enjoying our time together in the city and now that we have a new addition in the form of our daughter, Ariella, we are loving the family friendliness of the city as well!
