Although I was born and raised in New York, I have lived in Northampton longer than anywhere else. After graduating from Providence College and Harvard Medical School, I traveled to Ohio with my wife, Donna, for internship training. Our two daughters were born during residency training in Cleveland (Megan) and Durham, North Carolina (Hannah). The next several years I served in the US Navy taking care of children of military families where we lived in Quantico, Virginia.

After moving to Northampton in 1976 I had the challenging pleasure of establishing our pediatric practice as a solo physician. In subsequent years I was very fortunate to have other terrific pediatricians join me to take care of children in our area. Having a great team of fellow pediatricians enabled me to earn a Master in Public Health degree at UMass in 1987 as well as to have more personal time.

One of the greatest joys in serving as a pediatrician is being part of children's and parents' lives as they grow and develop. A special delight at this stage of my career is to help care for the children of children I once knew who have now grown up and started families of their own.

Outside of the office, I enjoy kayaking, walking our dog Scout, and traveling.
