 “My greatest pleasure right now is the time my wife and I spend with our two boys helping them explore and learn about the world around them. I enjoy home remodeling, especially the demolition part, hiking in the mountains, sailing at the outer banks, fishing and just being outdoors.” | | Interests | Family Medicine, Prenatal Care and Obstetrics, Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Health Economics and Primary Care Outcomes Research | | Education | 1984 | University of North Carolina
