Biography
As a pulmonary and critical care physician, my clinical practice is comprised of general outpatient and inpatient care for patients with acute or chronic lung disease and the care of patients in the medical intensive care units at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I also have an active research program focused on the cellular and molecular underpinnings of chronic fibrotic lung diseases such as Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis with the long term goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets that will improve the lives of patients. I strive to communicate in a direct, honest and compassionate manner, to complete a thoughtful and reasoned diagnostic assessment and to partner with patients to determine the optimal therapies. Ultimately, my goal is to combine the best medical evidence with each patient’s goals and preferences to personalize the care of each patient.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my wife and my two daughters. I enjoy sports, especially baseball, football, college basketball and gymnastics. Originally from the west suburbs of Chicago, I am a passionate Cubs and Bears fan. I enjoy exercising regularly, occasional travel, and Star Wars, Avengers, LoTR and GoT.
