The Ventilator Book
I am a graduate of The Citadel (Echo ’96) and the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.  I completed my residency training in Emergency Medicine at the Earl K. Long Medical Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  I then did a fellowship in Critical Care Medicine at Tampa General Hospital in Tampa, Florida.  I am board-certified in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Neurocritical Care.  Currently, I am an Assistant Professor of Critical Care Medicine at the University of South Carolina. My interests include mechanical ventilation (obviously), neurocritical care, ultrasonography, and the rational clinical examination.  My passion is teaching others the craft of caring for the most desperately ill and injured patients. Outside the hospital, I am a proud husband and a father of three children and two St. Bernards.  I like beekeeping, homebrewing, whitewater kayaking, rock climbing, and SEC football.
