My Biography
Raised on Long Island, I spent my youth balancing academic excellence, competitive sports, and memorable summers at Jones Beach with my family. I went on to graduate with honors from Columbia University with a B.A. in Biology before pursuing my medical education at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, drawn to its holistic approach to patient care. Following graduation, I completed my residency in Emergency Medicine at Stony Brook University Hospital, widely recognized as one of the nation's premier training programs.
I began my career at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, where an impactful first year led to an invitation to join the core faculty for the Emergency Medicine Residency Program. As a Core Faculty member, I directed and oversaw the emergency department's medical student clinical rotation program.
After four successful years at Good Samaritan, I transitioned to St. Catherine of Siena and St. Charles Hospitals to serve as the Director of Emergency Ultrasound. My leadership trajectory accelerated rapidly; after my first year on staff, I stepped into the role of Medical Director, becoming one of the youngest emergency department medical directors on Long Island.
After five years of transformative leadership, I stepped down, leaving behind a fully staffed department of board-certified emergency physicians, a first for the institution. Having fulfilled my vision, I passed the baton to return to the hands-on practice of Emergency Medicine.
In 2023, I launched the next chapter of my career by founding Island Stat Care. My goal was to establish a comprehensive, full-spectrum medical practice dedicated to supporting patients through every stage of life, offering responsive urgent care for acute illness and injury alongside proactive primary care for long-term health and wellness.
Outside of medicine, I am the proud father of four children and a dedicated endurance athlete. My athletic achievements include completing seven marathons, qualifying for the Boston Marathon with a personal best of 3:11 and running it twice, as well as completing Ironman Texas and seven Half-Ironman triathlons, placing in the top 10% in three of them.
