He has a special interest in health care for the underserved.  He has made a number of trips to Central America as a volunteer doctor and sees patients regularly in a neighborhood clinic in Alexandria.  His work with immigrant patients has allowed him to pursue his passion for languages.   He regularly uses Spanish and French, and is working on several others.  He is an avid runner and has completed three marathons.  He recently started a part-time master’s degree program in theology where he hopes to combine his interests in medicine and ethics.
