I am a graduate of the Ohio State University College of Medicine and did my residency at Akron City Hospital (Summa). I have been in practice for over 28 years.

I enjoy being a part of our Pioneer Physician group and I serve on the board of directors and as chief contracting officer for Pioneer.

I take an individual approach to every person, as we are all unique! I will discuss and educate the patient on the facts we know, discuss risks and benefits, and develop a plan that fits the needs of the individual, guided by evidence and value-based care principles. 

I was born, raised, and trained in Northeast Ohio. I am married with 3 children. For fun I enjoy personal training, hiking, boating, traveling, camping, and spending time with family. I play bass guitar and I am in a band with my brother, and we regularly play out at local establishments in the NE Ohio region.
