Where in Charlotte do you live?

Where did you grow up? We live in Barclay Downs. I grew up in Charlotte, specifically in the Cotswold area. My wife grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Tell us about your job. What do you like most about it? What are the challenges?

I am a spine surgeon, practicing at the Ortho Carolina Spine Center on Randolph Road. My practice encompasses patients of all ages, including pediatric and adult. The majority of my practice involves treating patients with back, neck, arm or leg pain, predominantly treating them nonoperatively. I specialize in treating patients with scoliosis or other spine conditions. I also take care of patients with fractures or other pain following accidents.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
