I was born and raised in New York City, attending Trinity School and the Bronx High School of Science.  Like all members of my family, I attended one of the SUNY schools for college where I majored in Economics.  I spent six very informative and educational years in the world of business before finding my true calling in Pediatrics.  After attending the Sackler School of Medicine, I completed my pediatric training at North Shore University Hospital in Long Island.  Because I enjoy teaching, I initially worked training medical students and residents as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Schneider Children's Hospital at Long Island University Medical Center.  For the next seven years I worked in private practice in New York City and Long Island.  I have a special interest in Nutrition/Obesity/Fitness counseling.  I truly love being a pediatrician and have often been told by my patients that my love of my work comes through to them and makes their visits more enjoyable.

I live in Stamford with my wife Audra, and our wonderful daughter Molly, who was born on January 30, 2009.  Audra and I both used to have several hobbies, but since Molly came into our lives we've done exactly zero of them.  We couldn't be happier.
