I was born in 1963 on Long Island, New York where my father was a surgical resident at Meadowbrook Hospital following his medical school training in Heidelberg, Germany. Both my parents had suffered through World War II in Germany and my grandfather was the only outspoken critic of Adolf Hitler in their small Lower Saxony town of Obernkirchen, so speaking out against and being aware of evil and injustice is in my DNA. I grew up mostly in Cornwall, Pennsylvania in a time when things like ADHD and dyslexia were not particularly on anybody's radar in our educational system and graduated from Cedar Crest High School in 1981. Therefore, in 1986 after transferring from University of Pittsburgh to Penn State University I squeaked through with a dual degree of General Science and Speech Communication. My undergraduate coursework looked like somebody used the dartboard to select my classes. Following graduation I worked in a psychiatric hospital for many years while taking classes to figure out what I wanted to do in life with a fairly unhelpful undergraduate degree. One day it struck me that I love health and fitness as well as science and I was able to talk my way into the Penn State graduate program in Nutrition Biochemistry. There I did bench work associated with the groundbreaking concept of putting EPA and DHA into infant formula for improved brain development. It was there that I realized my ability to concentrate had significantly improved. I was accepted into the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine graduating in 2003 and completing my Internal Medicine residency at York Memorial Hospital in 2006. Since then I have worked my entire career in the hospital as a Hospitalist. I had never wanted to work in the outpatient setting but all that changed when the COVID-19 pandemic put me at odds with the medical establishment. Now, I am legitimately thrilled with the prospect of setting up a direct primary care practice and parallel healthcare model. Three years ago, at the age of 56, I completed my fourth marathon and now, at the tender age of 59, I still rarely run less than 4 miles/run when I'm able to fit in time to run. My free time has been significantly curtailed due to under the radar activities associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. I still enjoy downhill skiing and hope to pick up some of my other old hobbies again once life settles down. I have an old boat that I like to tinker with and two retired daily driver vehicles of a 2006 Mustang GT and 1986 Grand Jeep Wagoneer that my wife begrudgingly allows me to keep. I have a very wonderful wife named Jennifer whose 24/7 job it is to keep me in line and our entire household in order. I have a 20-year-old daughter named Gwyneth and 18-year-old son named Gavin who are both going to college in the South. My daughter is going to Charleston Southern University and my son to Liberty University. We live in Ironville, Pennsylvania in an 1850s farmhouse with our two fur babies Oliver who is an English Springer Spaniel and Griffin who is a 120 lb Golden Irish. We have two Bombay cats and about nine hens alaying. University of Pittsburgh Medical Center - Hanover, York, Lititz - 2022 Penn Med - Lancaster Gen.
