Meet the person behind your care

I'm a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and proud Lee County native with a passion for helping my neighbors live healthier, happier lives. Growing up in Southwest Florida has given me a deep appreciation for this community, and it's an honor to care for the people and families who call it home. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent nearly a decade as a registered nurse in emergency and critical care, where I learned the importance of listening, compassion, and providing calm, confident care during life's most challenging moments. Today, I bring those same values to primary care, helping patients prevent illness, manage chronic conditions, and navigate everyday health concerns with personalized, evidence-based treatment. I founded Oceanside Primary Care & Wellness because I wanted to create the kind of healthcare experience I believe every patient deserves, one that's accessible, relationship-focused, and centered on treating the whole person rather than just their symptoms. Whether you're coming in for a routine checkup, managing a chronic condition, or simply looking for a provider who takes the time to listen, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, heard, and supported every step of the way. When I'm not caring for patients, you'll usually find me enjoying the outdoors, hunting, fishing, working on home improvement projects, or spending time around cars. Most of all, I cherish time with my wife and family—they're my greatest joy and my biggest inspiration. I look forward to getting to know you and partnering with you on your journey toward better health.
