I've always believed the body is meant to move—even when injury, age, or disease challenges us. After receiving a full academic scholarship to Davidson College, I earned my medical degree at Vanderbilt University, graduating in the top 5% of my class. I completed a rigorous six-year clinician-scientist orthopedic residency at NYU Langone Medical Center, followed by a spine surgery fellowship at the Harvard Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

My work exposed me to some of the most complex spine conditions—trauma, deformity, fractures, and degenerative disease. It also revealed a pattern: many of my patients weren't just dealing with spine problems. They were struggling with poor bone quality, silent fractures, and undiagnosed osteoporosis that made their outcomes harder and their recoveries longer.

That realization changed the trajectory of my career. Bone health needed more attention, more clarity, more modern solutions. And that's where OsteoCore began.
