Biography

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I went to college at Case Western Reserve University, followed by medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. From there, I completed residency and fellowship training at Summa Health in Akron, Ohio. I am now pleased to call Western New York home. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and dogs. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your cancer treatment team!
