John is originally from Pennsylvania, raised near Gettysburg. He attended the University of Pittsburgh and received an undergraduate degree in Biology and Anthropology, then moved to Philadelphia for medical school at Drexel University College of Medicine. John was drawn to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt during an away rotation and stayed for Pediatrics residency where he found his passion for neonatology. John’s interests include pulmonary physiology and hemodynamics, specifically PDA.

Outside of the hospital, John enjoys spending time with his growing family, finding new coffee shops, soccer, running, skiing, and watching hockey (Go Pens!! Oh, and Preds!).
