Why I chose this program/location for my training

Trinity Health Michigan has the personable, patient-first environment I was looking for in a residency program. I consider my faith and my family to be my top priorities and it was evident from the beginning my values aligned with this organization. I feel very lucky to be surrounded by such quality humans here at Trinity Health Michigan.

Hobbies/what I do outside of work

I thoroughly enjoy beating my friends and family at golf; I am really happy with any activity outdoors. I am also a new, but avid, reader - I usually have 2-3 books going at a time. Playing in my church softball league and participating in a Bible study with my friends is what makes my cup full!

Why I chose this program/location for my training

I chose Trinity Health Grand Rapids (THGR) because of interprofessional collaboration the pharmacy team has with the providers and nurses. I was drawn toward the many niche areas such as transplant and HIV that THGR has to offer as well as the various patient populations the area has to offer.

The pharmacy team is an extremely supportive environment and truly want the residents to achieve the most out of their residency program. I look forward to becoming a part of the Trinity team!

Hobbies/interests outside of work

I love spending time outdoors when I am not at work. I am either spending time at the barn riding horses or going for hikes in the Greater Grand Rapids Area. I love being able to go to the various farmers markets in the area as well. Other hobbies include baking, reading and painting when time allows.

Why I chose this program/location for my training

Trinity Health Grand Rapids has always felt like home to me. I have had the opportunity to spend time as a learner in various settings at Trinity Health, and every team I worked with had been so welcoming and went out of the way to put my education first. Each preceptor served as a positive role model for prioritizing patient care and forming meaningful relationships with every patient they interact with.

I am grateful that I have been given the opportunity to continue to learn from a team of compassionate educators, and I hope I can serve as a role model for future learners.

Hobbies/interests outside of work

On rainy days, I love to read and do puzzles with my 2 cats Emmett and Cashew. When the weather is nice, you'll typically find me at the tennis courts, on a walk, or working on DIY projects with my family.

Why I chose this program/location for my training

I chose the Trinity Health Grand Rapids PGY-1 program because of the pharmacists I interacted with throughout the interview process. Every pharmacy member I spoke to outlined that this program provides continuous support to the resident, while also providing the academic rigor needed to grow as a pharmacist. 

I believe having this balance creates an environment where you can be comfortable with being uncomfortable, where you can push past your own limits and feel the support from your team while doing so. When the program demonstrated this aspect, it made it an easy decision for me to choose Trinity Health Grand Rapids.

Hobbies/interests outside of work

Outside of work I enjoy participating in any kind of athletic event (sports, gym, etc.) and spending time with my wife Valerie and our dog Bear. I also take time to play video games with my friends and practice playing the drums. 

If I am able to take extended time for vacation, I enjoy travelling to my cabin near Traverse City to go boating on the surrounding lakes.
