Dingus earned his nursing degree from Walters State Community College and is pursuing a master’s degree in nursing from Vanderbilt University.
A lifelong Kingsport-area resident, Dingus says that being at Asbury Place is very rewarding because it provides the opportunity for him to contribute to the care of people he has known most of his life, including former school and church teachers.
