What do you do to stay balanced:  

  • Being a fourth year, it is much easier to find balance now than during the first three years of training. But, making sure I get daily exercise, playing golf when I can, spending quality time with my wife playing various games or watching TV, and spending time with friends and family has always kept me grounded.

Three things people may not know about me:  

  • I have more than 25 houseplants.
  • I am one of five kids, and all our names start with “Br-”.
  • I would do just about anything for a pan of brownies.
