What are you passionate about? Food! Food is the most important medicine we consume. Making incremental changes in food intake - more plant-based and less processed - improves health outcomes and changes lives.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be an aspiring writer on Saturday Night Live, my lifelong favorite TV Show.
Why did you become a provider? My grandfather was a family medicine physician in Highland Park. Stories of his life inspired my brother Joe and me to attend medical school together to carry on his legacy of patient-centered care.
My personal health goal is: to nourish my body with a whole foods diet and build it with cardio and resistance training every day.
What are a few of your personal achievements? I’ve been fortunate to travel widely. Travel has been perspective building and allowed me to meet interesting people all over the world. Some personal highlights include diving the Great Barrier Reef, driving the Yucatán Peninsula and touring New Delhi with a local family.
