Narrative
I grew up and went to high school in Collingswood, NJ. From there I attended St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, PA for college and then Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine for medical school. I love going down to Sea Isle City, NJ in the summer for some fun in the sun! My passions revolve around wine, sports, Italian food, and of course my family and friends. I got married during the COVID-19 pandemic this past November and the wedding was actually featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer. My wife will also be completing her residency training here at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Dermatology. I am beyond excited to complete my training here at TJUH in Radiation Oncology!
