Michael was born and raised in Cary, North Carolina. He attended UNC Chapel Hill where he studied chemistry and competed nationwide on the rowing team. His passion for sports physiology and public service ultimately led him to seek a career in cardiology. Prior to medical school, he worked extensively in clinical research studying rare, inherited arrhythmia diseases. In medical school, he was involved in research and outreach projects that focused primarily on training rural PCPs to provide expert cardiology care, as well as student-led motivational interviewing for improving lifestyle in patients with hypertension. Outside of work, he lives and breathes Carolina basketball, and also loves outdoor adventures, skiing, running, pick-up basketball, live music, and playing the piano. Michael is so excited to join the Vanderbilt family and explore all that Nashville has to offer!
