However, the day he stepped through the doors of North Caddo Medical Center in Vivian, Louisiana, his mindset changed, he knew it was his calling to practice rural family medicine. “I knew this was what the Lord had planned for me to do. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew this was how the art and science of medicine should be practiced. I wanted to be trained by the best to perform family medicine, the traditional way.” 

As a board-certified physician, he is in practice with UT Health East Texas in Carthage, Texas. He also serves as Vice Chief of Staff on the Medical Executive Committee, and as Physician Liaison on the UT Health East Texas Board of Directors.
