Biography

I have devoted my entire professional career to the pursuit of expertise in hospice and palliative care across the lifespan. After ten years as an attending physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and a faculty member at Columbia's College of Physician and Surgeons, I decided to move my family to a more family friendly environment than New York City and a clinical leadership position dedicated to end of life and hospice care in the community. I live in Norwich, VT with my wife and two sons.
