I grew up in Chatham, IL before attending UIUC aspiring to become a veterinarian. I pivoted to pharmacy when I realized the science was what really drove me, and moved to St. Louis to attend STLCOP before graduating with my PharmD in 2019.I was a Clinical Pharmacist in St. Louis, MO with a broad spectrum of pharmacy knowledge across many specialties: cardiology, critical care, oncology, women’s health, pain control, neurology, and more. During my time at Mercy, I thrived in both individual and group work and made an effort to practice each. I recently completed a travel position as Interim Director of Pharmacy at Community Hospital Association, a critical access hospital in Fairfax, Missouri. I’d like to keep traveling for now before deciding on an eventual location to call home. Interests include basketball, good restaurants, cars, piano, and weight lifting - to name a few. As I’ve become an old man and turned 30, I’ve come to appreciate good conversation as much as anything.
