I spent my formative years in the Pocono Mountains of rural Pennsylvania. In high school I played soccer, and I participated in collegiate soccer at Washington College, which is located on the eastern shore of Maryland. There I received my bachelor’s degree in biology. Pennsylvania is also where I completed all of my medical training, first at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and then at Penn State University Hershey Medical Center for my dual residency in internal medicine and pediatrics along with my allergy/immunology fellowship. 

After my allergy/immunology fellowship, I joined an allergy practice in Portland, Maine. I became a partner and spent 5 years in that practice. After much reflection and deliberation, my wife, an allergist, and I decided to pursue a new opportunity and move to Colorado. We wanted an opportunity to pursue a practice style and lifestyle suited to both of our careers. This path led me to Colorado Permanente Medical Group because I realized that this group focused on patient care first and foremost, a priority for my philosophy of medicine. I have found camaraderie and collaboration among the physicians and staff. This sensibility is what truly makes it a great place to work. Finally, these relationships and the work environment have helped me build an affinity not only with my medical team but also with my patients. I currently reside in Denver with my wife and my dog.
