I grew up in Boardman, OH. I first became interested in being a doctor when the local medical school came to the career fair at my high school. I’m married with one son and two golden retrievers. I earned my medical degree from the Northeast Ohio Medical University in Rootstown, OH, and completed my pediatrics residency at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH. I am certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and I am a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
