I am relatively new to the Utah area having only moved here in early April.  I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area and completed the majority of my surgical training there as well.  My wife and I then moved to Rochester, New York where I completed my vascular fellowship.  This was also where we decided to raise our family and spent a total of 17 years calling Rochester home. 

In many ways, Utah was an obvious choice for us - as soon as it was possible, our children learned to ski.  Somewhat naturally, we found ourselves in Utah every winter for 1-2 weeks for the past 11 years.  Leaving to go back to Rochester became harder and harder to do.  Ultimately, and without much argument, we decided to relocate and we could not be happier about the decision.

Besides skiing, I also enjoy hockey, music, being outdoors and spending time with my family.
