I enjoyed watching my brother who was a ATC work with and help athletes get back to their game.

I became an orthopaedic surgeon because of my experience as a college wrestler.

I love working with my hands and fixing things. I had plenty of orthopaedic injuries as I was growing up. Through these injuries, and my father who was an orthopaedic surgeon, I was exposed to the field of orthopaedics and I came to love it.

I had a great deal of orthopaedic experience growing up. I spent more time in the orthopaedist’s office than the pediatrician’s.

I wanted to join a profession where the goal was not only to return people back to health, but to return them to their previous activity level.

I had a tremendous mentor in medical school, Dr. Jack Ingari who showed me how much Orthopaedic Surgeons can help injured people get back to normal lives.
