Despite being “Born & Raised” in California, I’ve always believed that new experiences add character and that “Home is Where You Make It”.
Whether it was moving to Pennsylvania for Medical School, or Florida for Residency, I’ve been lucky to make good memories and great friends along the way (including my now wife)!
Then, nearly 10 years ago, we moved to North Carolina and immediately felt “at home”.
With its four seasons, the mountains, the ocean, and our local lakes, North Carolina has everything I enjoy in life… especially its People!
A personal motto of mine has long been: “Just Be Nice & Just Be Honest, and You’ll Get Far”….
and whether it’s in Uptown Charlotte, floating in Lake Norman, or in the Blue Ridge Mountains, you’d swear every person you meet in North Carolina believes the same!

Ever have an experience with a healthcare provider in which you felt rushed? Unheard? Leaving you spinning and questioning the decisions made with your health?
My philosophy is to break the “invisible wall” when it comes to communicating with your healthcare provider.
By simply sharing our thoughts, out loud, to each other, you’ll know you are heard. I’ll hear your details and you’ll understand the decisions behind your healthcare.
Whether it’s caring for adults or children, I want you to receive the best care possible. Bring me your health and your story, and I’ll bring my medical education to ensure we are making the best decisions… together.

My parents instilled in me a strong work ethic with the mentality that “if you want something done right, do it yourself”. In conjunction with a mechanical and technical brain, I constantly love to understand how and why things work.
Pairing this with the enjoyment that comes from working with my hands, and you can typically find me elbow deep in a new project. Whether it’s designing a website, learning how to 3D print, building a deck, or doing the electrical in my home, you can find me mumbling “frustration pep talks” until I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor.
My greatest joy is being a father to two amazing little children and a husband to an incredible wife (seriously, she’s amazing at everything).
If I’m not working on a project, hanging at the lake, or endlessly chatting it up with a stranger, you can usually find me doing the Poznan at a Charlotte FC game as a proud season ticket holder! Go Charlotte!!

I was born and raised in Cebu, Philippines, also known as the “Queen City of the South.” Growing up there helped shape who I am today and taught me the importance of kindness, respect, and staying grounded.
A personal motto I live by is: “Always be kind, because we never really know what someone else is going through.” This reminds me to treat people with care and understanding in both my personal and work life.
I value simple things in life: good relationships, honesty, and doing my best in everything I do. I also enjoy learning and trying new experiences that help me grow as a person. -

In my free time, I enjoy singing because it helps me relax and express myself. I also love dogs very much. I have three dogs who are a big part of my daily life and bring me so much joy.
I also enjoy reading books, especially ones that help me learn new things or see life in a different way. Outside of work, I like quiet time, simple routines, and anything that helps me grow and stay positive.
