Who I am in one sentence

A hematopathologist who tries to read every slide carefully, ask the right next question, and make sure the people on the other end of the report actually get something useful out of it.

A few things about me

• •I serve as Director of Hematopathology & Flow Cytometry and Director of Immunohistochemistry at UTMB.
• •I trained in Hematopathology and Surgical Pathology at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
• •I sign out hematopathology, surgical pathology, and flow cytometry cases.
• •I am especially interested in digital pathology, AI, and workflow optimization, the kind of tools that help pathologists work smarter without losing judgment.
• •I am board certified in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology and a Fellow of the College of American Pathologists.
• •I have a wife and a son who provide endless joy, a healthy amount of chaos, and more perspective than any career milestone ever has.

Why LabReflex exists

Pathology sits underneath most of the decisions made in medicine, but most of the work behind those decisions never gets seen. LabReflex is a way to bring that work forward, to show how a careful diagnosis actually gets made, how labs really run, and how new tools are starting to change what is possible.

Practically speaking, it also exists because somebody had to be the one to say, more than once, "no, we are actually doing this," and that somebody was usually me. Without that, this whole thing would probably still be a very good idea we kept meaning to start.

Outside work

Outside of pathology I am usually with my wife and son, reading more than I probably should, or losing an evening to whatever new piece of technology or AI has caught my attention. I have a soft spot for ideas from outside medicine that quietly end up reshaping it, and a much smaller tolerance for taking myself too seriously.
