About Me

I grew up in Massachusetts and came to Central Vermont Medical Center from St. Louis, Missouri, where I completed my family medicine residency at Saint Louis University's Family Care Health Center. My medical interests include addiction medicine, opioid use disorder and infectious diseases.

I'm passionate about helping patients overcome addiction and manage infectious diseases.

In my spare time, I enjoy fixing automobiles and electronics. My current project is restoring a 2004 Jeep Wrangler. My wife and I live in Waitsfield.
