Prior to joining us, he was a valued faculty member at both the University of Florida and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, two high-volume head and neck cancer centers. He completed his fellowship in Head & Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Iowa in 2015 and his Otolaryngology—Head & Neck Surgery Residency at the University of Virginia, in 2014.

Outside of work Dr. Hughley spends most time with his wife and 8 month-old daughter, and is looking forward to exploring all that the Triangle and North Carolina have to offer. He is a former professional musician, having served in the US Air Force band program, and still enjoys playing drums in various musical styles.
