After finishing my Orthopaedic Surgery residency at Brown University, my family and I moved to the seacoast area where I have practiced orthopaedic surgery with a special interest in lumbar spine surgery for over 21 years. My involvement in the North American Spine Society and the New England Spine Study Group spans many years. Active pursuits in my community include teaching as an adjunct professor at the University of New Hampshire, coaching youth soccer, basketball, and baseball teams, and being active in a leadership role a Bethany Church. I truly feel blessed to be a part of this community and to be able to use my efforts and training to help people both nonoperatively and in surgery. My heart for people allows me to treat all as if I were caring for one of my family.
