I grew up in Erie, PA, but have lived in Ohio for more than 40 years. I'm married and have two grown children. One is a college professor and the other is training to be a pediatrician. We also have a dog named Bella. I earned my medical degree from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, OH. I completed my pediatrics residency at the Cleveland Clinic. I am certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, and I am a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
