I was born in the Town of Tonawanda, a suburb of Buffalo, NY. I attended Michigan State University and graduated with an Animal Science Degree prior to obtaining my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine.

After graduating, I practiced at the same hospital in Farmington Hills, MI for 12 years. In 2004, I purchased Chino Valley Animal Hospital. The hospital soon outgrew the existing facility and in 2008 we moved into our state of the art facility. I have 2 English Bulldogs (Thor and Abby). My family lives here in Chino and we are active in supporting community events and youth sports.
