Tell us about yourself.
I am the Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Labs at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and am a Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine. I completed my fellowship in pediatric cardiology as well as congenital interventional cardiology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I now live "ITP" (Inside The Perimeter) in Atlanta, Georgia due to our world famous traffic congestion.
What are you most passionate about?
I am most passionate and curious about learning new subjects of all kinds. I hope to someday be on a winning team at a bar trivia night. My wife and I have five daughters (proving a certain theory about radiation exposure) and one strange looking dog. I love to cook. I hope to become a better father and husband every day. For some reason, funny and cute animal videos always make me smile.
What would you like your colleagues to know about you?
I enjoy approaching life with a sense of humor. The work we do is mentally and physically difficult and at times can be tragic. Building a team around you that is resilient requires being light hearted and celebrating our successes together.
