I am a board-certified family nurse practitioner who, as a gay man, seeks to create a safe and welcoming environment for other LGTBQ+ individuals. I am a native of Western North Carolina and live in the area with my husband, Justin. From personal experience, I can relate to the unique healthcare needs of our community and the challenges faced when working with a provider unfamiliar with these needs. I have a particular interest in PrEP services, as well as HIV care. As a family medicine provider, I also offer chronic disease management for conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
