He majored in Philosophy at Boston College with a concentration in pre-medical studies. During the summers he worked as an ocean lifeguard in New Jersey, competing as a swimmer and rower. He fell in love with south Florida where he studied medicine at the University of Miami. He completed residency training in New York and then fellowship training in Miami, and now works as an interventional cardiologist in Palm Beach county with a private group: the Medical Specialists of the Palm Beaches. Outside of the hospital he can be found in the sand playing beach volleyball, or on a yoga mat getting stretchy.
