I’m a Jersey boy, born and raised, but I don’t have an accent! I attended Messiah College, a Christian liberal arts school in Pennsylvania, as an undergraduate and then worked for the government at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, doing gene therapy research. I went on to study at Rutgers Medical School for my medical degree and while there managed to fall in love with an amazing international nurse who said she’d never marry a doctor. I did my plastic surgery training at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania, followed by an additional microsurgery fellowship at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. I worked in private practice in the Midwest before finding Kaiser Permanente in Denver, and I am thrilled to be part of such an amazing team.
