I’ve practiced across Alabama, Virginia and Maryland, in departments ranging from busy city hospitals to small community shops and freestanding ERs.
I trained at Emory University (MD, MBA) and completed my emergency medicine residency at Virginia Commonwealth University. Practicing across that spectrum of settings has given me a working view of how care is organized, financed and delivered, without losing sight of the patient in front of me.
Outside the department, I build against problems I encounter repeatedly. The emergency visit is structurally ill-suited for patient education. AFTER is my attempt to address that: plain-language guidance designed to complement primary care, not substitute for it. Notre Monde is closer to home: it began as a way for my wife and children to learn my native language together, and now includes Spanish and German.
Two independent projects. Both are works in progress.

Plain-language guides for the days after an emergency visit, paired with an on-device recovery tracker for symptoms, medications and follow-up questions. No accounts, no data transmitted. Built to support the follow-up visit, not replace it.

Adjustable for yours.
Notre Monde began as a way for my family to learn French together. It is short, calm practice for children, with a separate beginner course for the adults learning beside them. Each family can set it up as its own: its people, ages, favorite places and pace. French came first; Spanish and German have been added. No accounts, and nothing leaves the device.
