More than 10 years of experience in Neonatal/Perinatal Medicine support this neonatology expert witness’s work in neonatal intensive care, premature infant management, pediatric cardiovascular complications, and fetal growth-related disorders. His background includes clinical care and research involving hypertension, arterial stenosis, aneurysm formation, Moya Moya disease, congenital cardiovascular complications, and long-term cardiovascular risks associated with fetal growth restriction and early developmental conditions. He is board certified in both General Pediatrics and Neonatal/Perinatal Medicine and has served as an attending physician in neonatal intensive care settings.

Currently holding academic and clinical leadership appointments in pediatrics and neonatology, he has participated extensively in neonatal fellowship education, physician training, pediatric resident mentorship, and neonatal research oversight. His responsibilities have included service as Assistant Director of Neonatal ECMO, leadership of neonatal educational programs, and committee participation involving pediatric clinical competency evaluation, graduate medical education, and neonatal curriculum development.

His investigative work has centered on the lifelong cardiovascular effects of early-life conditions, including fetal growth restriction, cardiometabolic risk, endothelial dysfunction, vascular remodeling, and inflammatory vascular disease. Additional areas of study include extracorporeal membrane oxygenation outcomes, congenital heart-related complications, neonatal transfusion practices, obesity-related metabolic disease, and vascular abnormalities associated with neurofibromatosis. He has served as principal investigator and co-investigator on federally funded and foundation-supported research projects addressing neonatal cardiovascular biology, pediatric vascular disorders, and inflammatory disease pathways.

A Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and a Doctor of Medicine degree support his neonatal and pediatric medicine background. He completed residency training in Pediatrics, fellowship training in Neonatal/Perinatal Medicine, and additional NIH-supported pediatric scientist research training focused on vascular biology and neonatal disease mechanisms. His scholarly activities include peer-reviewed publications, invited lectures, editorial review responsibilities for neonatal and cardiovascular journals, and presentations at national pediatric and neonatal research meetings. Professional affiliations include the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Heart Association, the Society for Pediatric Research, and the Southern Society for Pediatric Research, where he later served as President.
