"As a Hoover native and proud Berry High School graduate, I have always had a love for the sciences and biology. Having a close family member develop MS while I was still quite young led me to pursue a career in research and then in clinical neurology to help others deal with this and other serious neurological problems they face every day. Helping people discover why they are having symptoms, find answers to their questions, and navigate through these sometimes complicated and confusing diseases is what makes this work so rewarding to this day. 

As a husband, father of three, and grandfather of two, there is certainly no lack of things to do outside the office with family and friends. Saturdays in the fall are generally spent at Bryant-Denny Stadium, or wherever the Tide happens to be playing. You might also see me out and about town singing your favorite oldies and party hits with my band, the Onlys."
