PERSONAL STATEMENT
Foremost, being a father and husband is my daily motivation along with my desire to serve my patients’ best interest.
As a former pharmaceutical sales specialist, I was frustrated with the way most pharmaceutical companies treated patients as
ways to turn a profit and not as people who needed help. As a Physician Assistant, I will deliver excellent care with a focus on
health education.
