I was born in Steubenville. My family moved to the New Philadelphia area when I was 4. I met my wife in college and we have been married for 11 years. We have three young boys. I earned my medical degree from the University of Toledo College of Medicine in Toledo, OH, and completed my pediatrics residency at Akron Children’s Hospital. I am certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and I am a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
