Biography: I knew from a very early age that I wanted to be a doctor. I went into radiation oncology because I found it a perfect blend of technology and patient care and because several family members have battled cancer. My mom died of metastatic colon cancer. \n So, my work as radiation oncology director at Scotts Hill is deeply personal to me. \n Cancer is incredibly complex, and patients tell me they appreciate how I break things down to an understandable level and give them a clear and accurate description of their situation and our treatment plan. \n I retired from the U.S. Navy Medical Corps as captain and won numerous awards and citations during my years in the military. I was an honor graduate of my flight surgery class, specialty leader for all of Navy radiation oncology and chief of radiation oncology at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for nine years. For my work in helping rebuild healthcare systems in Afghanistan in 2008, I was honored to receive the Joint Defense Meritorious Service Medal. \n I enjoy the research aspect of my job and participate in NRG Oncology trials. I've been the principal investigator in national lung studies. \n My wife, Mimi, and I have been married for more than three decades and have three grown children. Our daughter is a software developer in New York, and one son is a Marine Corps staff sergeant in New Bern, North Carolina, and our youngest son is an accomplished chef. When not working, you can find me outdoors - likely golfing, boating or snowboarding.
