Growing up in Massachusetts, medicine was a family affair. My mother was a nurse for more than 30 years, and I admired her dedication to her profession and her patients. One of my three older brothers also went into cardiology, so I was privileged to watch both of these people make their way in the medical field before me and guide me through my own training and career choices. \n Cardiology combines my loves of medicine, physiology and performing procedures. Collaborating with other physicians in the field is one of my favorite parts of the job, as my patients and theirs benefit from the sharing of information. As a general invasive cardiologist, I manage almost all aspects of cardiac care. From performing and interpreting noninvasive imaging to performing diagnostic procedures to placing cardiac devices, I enjoy the variety of cardiac care, as it challenges me each day. \n I worked my way through medical school by serving in the U.S. Army. I was honored to care for service members as a cardiologist in El Paso, Texas, before going into private practice. My wife, Marilu, and I are happy to have now made North Carolina our home. Our son has moved away, but we are excited every time he gets home for a visit. When I'm not busy with family activities, I enjoy golfing, boating, fishing and all the other outdoor activities our area has to offer.
