He was a volunteer physician during the 1996 Olympics and was assigned to the Olympic VIP and Family members and the weightlifting and wrestling events.
Dr. Hall’s grandson was born in May 2006 with hemophilia A. A maternal great grandfather had the disorder, so they were aware immediately after the birth of his diagnosis. Hematologic diseases have always been an area of interest for Dr. Hall, and this further inspired his desire for knowledge regarding hemophilia A. He eventually became involved with Hemophilia of Georgia through the Trot to Clot Run and remains an enthusiast for this great event and Camp Wannaklot. His desire to serve on the board of directors for HoG is congruent with his desire for all those with hemophilia to have access to the best available health care and quality of life. Dr. Hall wants to be “an advocate for public education and legislative matters regarding the treatment of hemophilia.”
Dr. Hall is a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Atlanta and serves on the member care advisory panel. He enjoys being “Grandpa” to his two grandsons. He is a former triathlete and still enjoys being active in various sports, especially mixed martial arts. Other hobbies include landscape design/gardening and cooking.
