Current Residents and Fellows - Vascular Surgery

College: Michigan State University
Why CAMC: I first heard about CAMC from former resident colleagues, and everyone only had great things to say regarding the familial work culture and strong operative exposure. After interviewing, I knew that this program would be a great fit for me and my career goals in vascular surgery.
Hobbies: I enjoy working out, hiking, exploring new food scenes and traveling.
About me: I grew up in Farmington Hills, MI, went to MSU for undergrad and medical school and completed my training in general surgery at Henry Ford Macomb in Michigan. Coming to West Virginia for fellowship is the first time my wife and I have lived outside of Michigan, and we are loving what the state has to offer more and more every day!

College: Bob Jones University - B.S. Engineering.
Why CAMC: Strong operative exposure, complex patient population, strong residency culture of inclusion and collaboration 
Hobbies: Hiking, working out, binge watching TV, disc golfing
About me: I am originally from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I went to college at Bob Jones University, where I obtained a degree in Engineering. I returned to the University of South Carolina to earn my medical degree and am completing my vascular surgery residency training at Charleston Area Medical Center in Charleston, WV. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and cat and disc golfing.

College: University of Alabama – B.S. Biology
Why CAMC: I wanted a residency where I could be best friends with my co-residents. CAMC Vascular truly is one big family.
Hobbies:  Tennis, hiking, barbecuing, hunting and fishing 
About me: I grew up in Mississippi, have played tennis my whole life.  I'm a diehard Alabama football fan and can be found watching the formula one race on Sunday afternoons. Roll tide. 

College: Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary 
Why CAMC: I gravitated towards CAMC primarily because of the residents in the program and the case volume that comes with serving this population. We are a down-to-earth group of residents who support each other in and outside the hospital. I knew before coming here that I would graduate here with lifelong friends/colleagues and a skill set that would allow me to pursue any avenue of vascular surgery. 
Hobbies: I enjoy hanging out in the house, growingannanas workouts (killer), air-frying anything edible, interior design and running.

College: University of South Alabama - BS Biomedical Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham - BS Genetics and Genomic Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham- MS Biomedical Health Sciences
Why CAMC: I knew immediately following my interview that CAMC was going to be one of my top choices. The population here has very complex pathology, and the residents have a lot of autonomy in and out of the OR, which is something I wanted. Seeing how well the residents and attendings got along and the family atmosphere was the icing on the proverbial cake. 
Hobbies: I love spending time with my wife and two girls, going to the beach, fishing, lifting weights, bourbon hunting and BBQing. 
About Me: I lived most of my life in south Alabama, about 30 minutes from the Gulf beaches, and I love doing anything on or around the water. My two brothers and I played a lot of sports growing up. I am a big Florida Gator fan! This is my first time living outside of the South, and I am looking forward to experiencing all West Virginia has to offer!
