Undergrad: Touro University
Med School: New York Medical College
Originally from the other side of the mighty Hudson River, from the great state of New Jersey, and immigrated to the humble state of New York over a decade ago in the pursuit of knowledge of medicine. I am passionate about compassion and kindness in the ED as well as efficient systems design and informatics. I enjoy anything technology-related, road tripping, woodworking, and running but most importantly spending quality time with my family.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, the actual city of champions. I am a die hard Steelers and Penguins fan. When I am not at work you can find me running or biking through any of the parks, relaxing on a rooftop with friends, or sleeping my life away. A few of my interests are soccer, hiking, sports medicine, ultrasound, and long walks around the ED with my asthma patients before they get discharged.

I enjoy making gains at leisure; I think i also play a mean sax, my next door neighbors might vehemently disagree. Always down for an adventure and a hot plate of Jollof rice and stew. Also direct descendant of King T-challa. Love good vibes and vibranium.

I’ve lived in the State of New York my whole life. I grew up on Long Island, went to undergrad upstate, Med school in NYC, and I STILL don’t want to leave! In my free time I can be found running in a park, playing video games (Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing) trying a new recipe, or doing nothing at home with my cat (that’s the best).

Undergrad: C.W. Post
Med School: The Royal College of Surgeons
Born in Maryland, but spent most of my life in South Florida. The coolest thing about me is that I'm a proud father of a 5-year-old french bulldog named Oliver. I'm interested in all types of water sports, sustainability, indoor gardening, and plant-based eating. I'm always fighting an internal battle of whether I should grow plants or eat them.
