Radiation oncology— the privilege of helping patients in their cancer journey and working with them to develop a plan that honors their values and life goals.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I adore my wife, Gina, and mini-dachshund, Winnie. We like to go on walks through Cherokee Park, hang out on patios at local breweries and attend Racing Louisville soccer games!

Racing Lou games at Lynn Family Stadium— not a bad seat in the house and a showcase of the amazing talent in the NWSL in our very own backyard.

Longitudinal patient relationships, watching cancer care and technology evolve
