  • Fun Fact About You:

    ID twin is also an IC fellow.

  • What do you enjoying doing in your free time?

    Travel when there’s not a pandemic. Look at toys I wish I could buy. Drink and shoot guns.

  • What was your craziest/best/worst job before residency/fellowship?

    Residency was my first job. All I did was play golf, read, and travel before that 🙂

  • If I wasn't a doctor I would be...

    an Uber driver.

  • What do you enjoy most about living in Sioux Falls?

    Difficult question. Probably the people.

  • If there was a movie about your life, what genre would it be and who would be casted as you?

    No idea. I have a plasty in 5min can’t think about it.

  • Is there anything else you'd like to share about your fellowship experience or about living in Sioux Falls?

    Good place to train for the interventional inclined fellow.

  • Why did you choose this fellowship?

    Because it seemed like a good fit. And it was.

  • In your opinion, what is the best thing about your fellowship?

    Opening up blocked stuff.

  • What, if anything, would surprise a new fellow about the CVD program?

    The pace, especially when covering the wards and in the lab. Unless you did residency in a county hospital or in NY, fellowship will be up tempo often. Also I was surprised by the attendings’ giving us autonomy from day 1 (or 2). The nurses here are better than nurses on the coasts, generally speaking.

  • What's the best perk of your program?

    The weather. Kidding. Procedural volume, underground parking (in winter).

  • What is one thing you want a prospective fellow to know about our program?

    We have a cordial relationship with most attendings and we know how to have laughs at work. If you have interest in invasive/interventional cardiology or imaging, this is a great place to learn. Our relatively young program’s reputation is getting better as more fellows graduate.
