Y O U R F A M I L Y :
I grew up on Long Island, New York.
This is also where I raised my now
23-year-old daughter. My relatives
are spread across the country, which
gives me plenty of places to visit.

I was called to oncology relatively
early in my studies. I love the rela-
tionship I develop with my patients
and their families.

A warm smile, an understanding
heart and a true desire to help them in
whatever way they need. I really feel

I really love all the outdoors has to
offer, including hiking, fishing and
camping. I also enjoy cooking, garden-
ing and canning. I have four dogs and
a cat right now who keep me busy.

When I came to interview, I was
greeted by a wonderful and welcom-
ing staff. Add to that a great hospital
with a growing oncology program, and
this job was a dream come true. I am
so excited to be a part of this great
team.

My wife and I grew up in the

Spokane. We enjoy the Northwest

I chose cardiothoracic surgery be-
cause I enjoy the hands-on part of
surgery and find the cardiovascular
system interesting.

They can expect someone who

Kootenai provided me with
the opportunity to work with great
surgeons, and the staff has been
awesome. We love Coeur d’Alene
and are looking forward to becom-
ing members of the community.
