Prior to medical school, he taught high school chemistry and physics and served as Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Cumberland University. During medical school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, he volunteered with the Memphis Crisis Center suicide lifeline. His interests include Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, first-break psychosis, mood disorders, and serving rural or under-resourced populations.
