About Me

I’m a native of Western New York State who moved to Jacksonville in 2022 to date my wife and have loved living here since. We are starting to grow our family with our first son expected August 2026. We love to travel, go to the mountains to hike and snow-ski and do anything outdoors. In my days off at home, I enjoy a good steak and working out to stay as healthy as I can for myself and my family.

My philosophy of care is patient-centered. I always say to patients that “this is your ship and I’m just helping you sail it”. A person knows their body, so it’s important for me to focus on listening and try to understand the big-picture of what could be going on in their body. I believe active listening and trying to understand my patient's wants, needs and concerns can go a long way in finding optimal health and well-being.

I believe I have been gifted with the ability to help people maintain their health and I am actively pursuing an opportunity to assist pilots in doing that in the Air National Guard.
