Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

Medicine is a perfect blend of my interest in science and continuous learning, with the opportunity to have frequent meaningful social interaction with patients and colleagues.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I was born and raised in Northeastern PA. I enjoy being able to use my talents and skills to give back to fellow Pennsylvania residents who are in need of advanced medical care. As a clinical researcher, it also brings me great joy knowing that I am able to bring the latest techniques and clinical tools to our community.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

When I am not seeing patients my interest include fitness, sports and spending time with my wife and children. I am an avid Penn State fan - especially Nittany Lion football and wrestling!
