After graduating with a degree in chemistry from Emory University, I made my way back to Florida and completed Nova Southeastern University's Dental School 2nd in my class. I continued my studies at Nova to specialize in orthodontics. Upon finishing school with honors in 2004, I partnered with Dr. Norman Gorback until taking over the practice in 2008.
I feel a deep commitment to my community and volunteer at several charitable organizations including the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the Jewish Adoption and Foster Care Options.
I am lucky to be married to my college sweetheart, Marissa, and we live with our two dogs, Nadia and Eva. When I'm not in the office, I'm most likely near the ocean enjoying water sports and surfing.
