I <br /> completed pediatrics, pediatric cardiology, and pediatric electrophysiology clinical training, as <br /> well as post doctoral training in molecular physiology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, <br /> TX. I then accepted a job (back home!) and returned to NC with my wife in family. We moved <br /> to Hillsborough in 2018 and I currently lead a cardiovascular genetics clinic at Duke Children s <br /> Hospital and I lead a research team exploring the causes of sudden cardiac death-predisposing <br /> diseases. <br /> While I recognize that none of these experiences do not seem to be directly relevant to a board <br /> of equalization and review; however, it has reinforced several characteristics that are important- <br /> being objective in the face of(sometimes heated) emotion and being financially prudent for a <br /> greater good. Perhaps more importantly, I am a homeowner and member of the community. I <br /> know firsthand what its like to have what I perceived was an unfair property assessment-when <br /> we lived in Pearland, TX I believed that my county appraised property value was a gross over <br /> estimation given the home sale prices in the neighborhood. I know firsthand how challenging <br /> and opaque the process of petitioning for an adjustment can be. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />
