Graduating from USUHS in 2022, he was selected for the Carl R. Darnall Army Psychiatry Residency program, further underscoring his commitment to both military and medical service. His professional accolades include significant scholarly contributions to medical research, with publications and presentations at esteemed conferences, such as the American Psychiatric Association meeting.
