After serving more than a decade as Founding faculty of Physiology and Pharmacology at the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine, in Dothan, Alabama, am very exited to have joined the ETSU College of Medicine. Looking forward to meeting the many members of the ETSU-College of Medicine family and to working with all to best serve the student learners. My family and I are thrilled to be here in the Tri-city region. My son Justin and daughter Adelyn have started third grade and my youngest son Jacob has also started kindergarden. We are excited to be here and look forward to learning about the many community and outdoor activities the region has to offer.
