Member Bio

I serve as Medical Director of His House of Hope - Bet Eman Teaching Hospital for Women & Children, in Yei, South Sudan. My wife, eight of our children, and I moved there in 2011 to help found the hospital. Currently, it has grown to a 40+ bed facility which performed 1,636 deliveries in 2015, cared for over 5,000 outpatients and 3,200 inpatients. We are growing to be a state referral center for complicated obstetrics and pediatrics cases, and were recently named a National Teaching Hospital for South Sudan. We are passionate about equipping South Sudanese health professionals to do the work and encouraging them to grow in their faith and walk with Christ. We work with Medical Officers, Clinical Officers, nurses, midwives, and laboratory technicians as students on practical rotations and as interns just after completing their training.
I am a graduate of Tulane, and did my residency with In His IMAGE Family Medicine in Tulsa. My family and I lived in rural Colorado for 9 years following residency, where I served in a Community Health Center. My wife, Elizabeth, is a Certified Health Education Specialist and Lactation Consultant, and is a tremendous support to the work of His House of Hope and particularly to me.
