Why did you choose to become part of Michigan State University Neurology?

The program at Michigan State University and Sparrow Hospital offered the best of both worlds with a Big-Ten University Environment combined with a well established teaching hospital in a small urban setting.  In my opinion, the residency seems to attract well-rounded individuals who work well with one another during the trying time of attempting to master the very complex field of neurology. 

If you were not a doctor, what would you have chosen as a career?

Firefighter.

Extracurricular interests and activities:

Huge MSU sports fan.  Biking, sailing, fishing, kayaking.
