2013 Health Care Hero – Jacksonville, Florida

2013 Health Care Hero - Jacksonville, Florida

Was it always your goal to become an Orthopedic Surgeon? Tell us about your journey.

I participated in athletics during my childhood and broke my ankle when I was thirteen. I was exposed to physical therapy and initially had a goal to work as a therapist for a professional sports team. Dr. Ripley, my Orthopaedic Surgeon during my childhood and high school athletic career, offered me the opportunity to watch her perform a knee arthroscopy. After observing for one day, my goal changed as I decided to pursue a career in Orthopaedic Surgery hoping to one day work as a team physician for a professional sports team. That goal remained constant through college, medical school and residency. I was able to fulfill part of my dream in Los Angeles as an assistant doctor to the head team doctors for the Los Angeles Lakers, Kings, Dodgers, and Anaheim Ducks. Moving to Jacksonville I was given the opportunity to assist with taking care of the Jacksonville Jaguars and simultaneously became the head team physician for the Jacksonville Sharks. Prior to the 2013-14 NFL season, I was named head team physician for the Jacksonville Jaguars completing one of my long term career goals. I have an extremely busy Orthopaedic Sports practice and enjoy taking care of athletes of all type including not only professional, but high school, collegiate and weekend warrior athletes.

You were one of the leaders recognized at the Legacy of Leaders dinner and in the Portrait of Leadership Gallery that was held at Ocean 60. What does being a “leader” mean to you?

Being a leader means that I have the ability to not only make a difference in my community, but I also can help to motivate those people around to make meaningful contributions. The Portrait of Leadership has helped to spread the word about the positive differences that a number of leaders have made over the last several years.

What advice would you leave future leaders?

My advice to future leaders is to constantly challenge yourself and do not be afraid to leave you comfort zone. Every day gives you the opportunity to make a difference in our community. Setting goals, working hard to reach those goals and taking the time to appreciate the journey are key components to being a successful leader. It is not easy being a leader, but the reward for accomplishing your goals is priceless.
