My name is James, and I am a fourth-year medical student in Rockford, IL. I received my undergraduate degree in Chemistry and completed research in computational chemistry. My research interest during medical school involves legislation around informed consent, approaches to THA, and outcomes of TSA with intramedullary vancomycin. In my free time, I cherish spending time with my daughter and wife, playing pickup basketball, weightlifting, running, swimming, cycling, and golfing. My other hobbies include cooking (especially ramen), finance, and economics.
