I grew up in Houston and said I was going to be a doctor from the time I was two. As an undergrad I earned my EMT and worked my way through college as an EMT-B. I spent a year working on an ambulance before starting med school. EM seemed to be the best fit for me with my prehospital emergency background and desire to treat people where their need is greatest. Between med school and college I spent a year doing research on prehospital trauma and shock here at UTSW.
When I am not at work I spend time with my family. The combination of work and family makes for busy days, but also a life more rewarding than I could ever express.

Dallas is the third city in Texas I've lived in, though I'm not orignally from Texas--I was born in London, then lived in New Jersey, Michigan, Toronto, CA and then Houston, and left to go to Evanston, IL outside of Chicago for college. My husband is a Neurosurgery resident, so we will be in Dallas for a while, and between the two of us spend A LOT of time at Parkland. As for hobbies--I love to run, travel, have loved photography since high school, and love eating out with friends =)

Thanks for checking out my killer picture b/c now I'm over 300 pounds & considering the lap band. When I'm not eating twinkies & chugging warmed crisco; I'm usually out in my garage throwing pots (pottery... and yes just like Ghost). Earlier this year, I built a gas kiln in backyard (don't tell the po-po) which gets redonkeyulessly hot - over 2300'F. Anyways, good luck with the match & give me a holla if you have any questions about the residency, Irving, pottery, or have any good recipes for fried butter.

I am from Las Vegas...no I did not live in the Bellagio or any other hotel on the strip. I chose Parkland for the acuity, volume, independence, and the down-to-earth residents and attendings. I am a hardcore college football fan and in my free time I like to hike, run, go to bars, meet new people, and travel.

I love my wife, 2 year-old daughter, and infant son. I enjoy computers & technology when I have a few minutes to myself. My wife and I are both licensed private pilots and we fly when we can, but residency and parenthood have seriously cut into our aviation time. I worked prior to medical school at St. Luke's and Texas Heart Institute, both part of the Texas Medical Center in Houston.

I am very fortunate to have had the oportunity to train here, as I was initally a resident at UTMB prior to the arrival of Hurricane Ike. I was welcomed to this program with open arms by everyone in it and have been fortunate to be surrounded by some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I am from Dallas originally and love this city! When I'm not working, I'm usually at the gym or doing something fitness related. Working at this program requires hard work, ambition, a lot of self-motivation, and desire to be a trailblazer. Balancing work and free time is also very important, but it can be done. If you want to be in EM, this city has a lot to offer, trust me. Just try the tacos at Fuel City. Tell 'em Marcos sent you! (may be good for one free taco)

I grew up in Kansas, and am a devout Jayhawk. I live in Rowlett with my beautiful wife and daughter, and our two dogs. I came to Parkland for an experience that few other programs could match in terms of acuity and volume, and it has been wonderful so far. In my spare time I try to get out onto the golf course as much as possible. I love to bbq for friends and family. I also love traveling with my wife, playing with my daughter, College Basketball and Yankees Baseball.

Born and raised in Texas, my wife and I lived in Chicago for a couple of years, but are now very excited to be back in the Lonestar State.  We met at Baylor, went to medical school together, and she is currently a dermatology resident at Southwestern.  I like to bike, ski, workout, and play pretty much any intramural sport.  And I'm still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up.

I grew up in San Diego where I went to undergrad. I then moved to Phoenix, AZ for medical school and have landed here in the Dallas area. My professional interests include third world medicine/missions and event medicine. Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with my fam, camping, fishing, traveling, surfing, snowboarding and golf.

I grew up in the great state of Oklahoma and attended the University of Oklahoma, obtaining a BA in English of all things. I moved to Texas and taught high school English for three years before deciding (quite logically???) to go to medical school. I attended UT Southwestern for medical school and liked it so much I decided to stay for residency. The training and resources here are excellent, and I love the privilege of working with some truly amazing yet downright friendly people. In my free time I like to run, read, watch movies, eat out, cheer on my beloved Sooners, and spend time with my amazing, wonderful, fantastic, sweet, and loving wife and the newest addition to our family, our daughter, Lexi.
