I am a family practice trained, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner working to find the underlying cause of diseases and what the body is trying to tell us. I started my practice to create an environment of healing, and one that involves hearing patients who need help understanding how all of their symptoms connect. After obtaining my medical degree from LSU Shreveport, I moved to Dayton, Ohio to complete my family practice residency at Miami Valley Hospital where I served as Chief Resident. Upon completion, I opened a traditional family practice in Oxford, Ohio. After 8 years, I transitioned to functional medicine and discovered the true power of healing. This journey has led me to Monument, Colorado, where I will be practicing with 3 other providers in a new functional medicine practice starting August 2020.
I am the Chief Medical Adviser for Pure Encapsulations which gives me an opportunity to educate other providers on genetics and business development. I also have the privilege of lecturing regularly on the implementation of genetics in practice through the program I designed, PureGenomics. My passion for educating other physicians in training has been fulfilled with MBN Systems, which is working with medical schools and residencies in teaching the interconnectedness of the body through functional medicine principles. I am also a co-host of the podcast, Good Medicine on the Go, where I, along with Kara Ware, instruct on practice implementation, and how genetics can empower both a practice, and its patients.
I love traveling, cycling, fly fishing, rock climbing, kayaking, and ballroom dancing with my wife, especially tango! I really enjoy seeing the empowerment of patients when they take charge of their health and understand how to stay healthy by making good choices!
