Welcome to Medical School!

We are excited to have you join us here at TCOM.  I am a native of Fort Worth and completed my undergraduate degree from SMU in Dallas.  I am a 1995 TCOM alumnus and completed my internal medicine residency followed by geriatric fellowship here at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in 2000.

Since that time I have practiced as a geriatrician with special emphasis on palliative medicine here in Fort Worth.
