A bit about Me.

I was born in Indiana, but I grew up in Michigan before moving to Tampa with my parents and brother.

After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from the University of South Florida, I moved to Miami to attend Optometry School at Nova Southeastern University.

After completing Externships at both The Eye Centers of South Florida and Aker Kasten Eye Center, I received my Doctorate in Optometry. I immediately began seeing patients at my current location. I belong to the Florida Optometric Association, the American Optometric Association, the Broward County Optometric Association, the Southern Educational Congress of Optometry and the National Glaucoma Society.

I am proud to say that I love my career, and I am honored that so many people call me their Eye Doctor.

I love to read and consider myself an aspiring author. I am also a huge Miami Dolphins and Miami Heat fan. Don’t hold this against me...

I spend my time off with my lovely wife Lisa and our two sons.
