After growing up here in Tucson, I decided to take in a change of scenery for medical school and graduated from the State University of New York in Buffalo. Tucson’s warm and friendly atmosphere brought me back for residency, as well as the great teaching and patient population. I appreciate the many opportunities that I have been given to teach, as well. My wife and I are expecting our first child this December, so we are taking advantage of going to the movies, camping, and date nights while we still can! After residency I will be going into either pediatric cardiology or genetics.
