How I fell in love with anatomy:
The first time that I really enjoyed anatomy was in the emergency room as I watched the doctor sew me up after a car accident. I was fascinated to be able to see my own nerves and how they reacted to the doctor’s touch. Since that time, I have continuously tried to learn and pass on as much as I can about the amazing human body.

Three things people may not know about me:

  • I was an accounting major as an undergraduate.
  • I am happily married with four beautiful children. (No bias here)
  • In ninth grade, I promised myself I would never dissect anything again . . . that was before the accident mentioned above.
