I went to Centenary College here in
Shreveport and got a BS in geology, got a
master's degree in geology from Texas
A&M and worked for Phillips Petroleum
for about seven years in different
locations across the country.
Then got drawn back into trying to
go to medical school so went back to LSUS
is here for a year and then  got into
medical school and from there ended up here
after four years of medical school
then five years residency,  then did a
fellowship in trauma orthopedics up in
Columbus, Ohio.
I do focus on trauma particularly
the lower extremity as well as knee
replacements and hip replacements. 
Usually any trauma waist or below is kind
of my area of expertise.  Broken bones in
the femur,  tibia,  ankle, knee you know hip
area.
we've got the best group of guys here anywhere not just in
Shreveport but really probably you can't
really do any better at any place in the
country for some of the things that we
do here.  We're really on probably the
cutting edge of many areas of
orthopaedics here.  I'm just very proud that our group is
know just.   Many guys that are just
very, very solid.
I was already very adept at
looking at rocks,  and bones and rocks are
actually very similar and in many
characteristics.  A lot of the
tools and instruments that we use in
orthopedics are stuff that you use in
your garage on a daily basis and and
just more expensive as far as getting
the tool itself.  It was just kind of a
natural fit and then with my father and
brother doing it.  It just felt
like the right choice for me
