Biography
A native to New York, I was born and raised in Queens before moving to South Florida. As the son of a FDNY firefighter, my family translocated after the 9/11 attacks while my father stayed in NY to rebuild his fire department. I completed my undergraduate program at the University of Florida majoring in Biology where after suffering a sports injury requiring surgery I shifted my focus from athletics to pre-med. I was further motivated after my father passed from 9/11 associated cancer and through the mentorship of team physicians stayed at the University of Florida for medical school. After graduating medical school I trained in Family Medicine Residency at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital from 2016-2019 where I held the title of Chief Resident. I further pursued training in Primary Care Sports Medicine at the University of Miami under the tutelage of Drs. Best and Kaplan, improving my clinical, procedural and research skills. I enthusiastically joined the University of Miami Sports Medicine team in the summer of 2021 splitting my time between Sports Medicine Clinic, Research, Athletic coverage, The Firefighter Cancer Institute, and Student Health. When not working personal interests include spending time with my family, traveling, and working out (especially olympic style weight lifting). -
