I was born in Daytona Beach and grew up along Florida’s west coast before pursuing a lifelong passion for science and medicine. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Florida, followed by my Medical Degree and Pediatric Residency training at the University of South Florida. I am Board Certified in General Pediatrics.

I chose pediatrics because I believe deeply in partnering with families and becoming a trusted part of their “extended family.” My goal is to work alongside parents to guide their children toward a healthy, happy future—celebrating milestones, navigating challenges, and providing clear, compassionate support at every stage.

I have special clinical interests in newborn care, Type 1 Diabetes (including personal family experience), and caring for children with Autism and other special needs. As both a pediatrician and a parent—my wife, also a pediatrician, and I have three kids and three dogs—I bring empathy, practicality, and firsthand understanding to my work.

Outside the clinic, my passions include tennis, Florida Gators football, traveling with my family, hiking new places in nature, and enjoying a good movie. I’m also a proud Batman enthusiast, a fun fact that tends to surprise my patients and their parents.

At each visit, I hope families leave feeling heard, supported, and confident—knowing they have a pediatric partner who is genuinely invested in their child’s well-being.

My approach to care is rooted in partnership. I strive to become a trusted part of each family’s extended support system—providing clear, compassionate guidance through every stage of childhood. I work alongside parents to navigate milestones, address concerns early, and help every child build a healthy, happy future. Above all, I want families to leave each visit feeling heard, supported, and confident.
