Q: Are you a morning person or a night owl?
A: I think I am a little bit of a morning person and a night owl. I am definitely most productive in the morning but I will commonly stay up late binge watching my current Netflix show. I just finished up Landman season two.
Q: Do you have a favorite coffee shop, restaurant or business in Fort Worth?
A: I think we were blessed with many amazing restaurants close to the campus. I like Piola. I go to Tuk Tuk Thai weekly. I drink coffee daily, but my taste is pretty bland. I just drink Keurig black coffee.
Q: If you could instantly master a skill outside of medicine, what would it be?
A: I would love to be an amazing singer and/or dancer. I am not close to either!
Q: What's your favorite place to vacation?
A: We are planning a big vacation to the Far East for 2027 and really looking forward to that. We commonly vacation at the beach as a family.
Q: What are you watching, reading or listening to at the moment?
A: I just finished reading George Orwell's 1984 again and I have recently been listening to a lot of Eric Church. I am a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, and we will see him in concert in a couple weeks in Austin.
