Favorite block:
❤️
A surgical ankle block. When done correctly with a targeted technique, it punches well above its weight.
What’s one thing you wish someone had told you at the beginning of your career?
💡
The hardest part of a block is often the decision-making, not the needle placement.
What is a non-medical hobby you’re passionate about?
🏀
I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, which makes me a big Eagles, Sixers, and Phillies fan. I also enjoy fast cars!
What would be your walk-up song as you enter the lecture hall?
🎵
“Act a Fool” by Ludacris.
What’s one thing attendees should come and talk to you about at the Summit?
🤝
I enjoy discussing tips and tricks on building a regional anesthesiology and acute pain service, and talking to different types of surgeons along the process.
