Biography: Growing up, the medical field was far from my mind. I spent much of my time turning wrenches in my family's auto shop and traveling the country competitively racing go-karts. In high school, I joined my local volunteer rescue squad. It was then that I discovered there was a surgical specialty that involved replacing worn-out joints and fixing broken bones using the same types of tools I had used my whole life. \n I knew then that orthopedics was my future. It was only when I started practicing it that I realized how satisfying it is to restore a patient's function and movement. When I achieve these goals, the sense of elation is akin to winning a national go-kart race. \n I take particular interest in complex joint replacement and revision surgery. These cases take extensive planning and require flawless execution, often involving creative solutions. One of the best ways to come up with those solutions is working closely with each patient. Together, we identify their goals and devise a personalized plan to achieve them. I believe it is my job to educate and offer options, and then make treatment decisions in partnership with my patient. \n My wife and I live in rural Davidson County with our daughter, Sutton, and our dog, Paisley, who is a "doxle," or a dachshund and beagle mix. I will always have a passion for car racing, but over the years I have transitioned to being more of an outdoorsman rather than sitting in the driver's seat. I love fishing and hunting, and have enjoyed introducing my daughter to these activities.
