Personal Bio

I am a lifelong WNY resident, having graduated from Kenmore West High School. My wife and I have 3 wonderful children. I enjoy nature, genealogy, trivia, animals (especially dogs) and everything Buffalo.

I have always enjoyed working with kids and considered becoming a child psychologist during college. I opted, instead, to pursue a medical career and pediatrics was the obvious choice.

I still have a special interest in behavioral health. Supporting my patients, and their families, throughout their youth is what I enjoy the most about pediatrics and it is an honor to be a part of your family. One of the most amazing parts of pediatrics is getting to interact with my patients as babies through young adulthood.
