I was born near Boston and moved to Tampa Bay prior to my high school years. I attended Florida State University (Go NOLES) for my undergraduate degree and graduated in 2000. I moved to Athens, GA and attended the University of Georgia (Go DAWGS) to obtain my master’s degree in Audiology in 2002. I had the honor to work at Bay Pines VA, as a clinical Audiologist during my clinical residency year from 2002-2003. Bay Pines VA was the busiest VA Audiology department in the US at that time. During this year, I fell in love with hearing aid technology, best practices using Real Ear Fittings, and developing relationships of care with our veterans. I had the privilege to study under some of the best Audiologists in the country. I fit hearing aids on over 600 veterans that year alone!

Over the last 16 years, I am proud to call Georgia my home! I have lived in Forsyth county now for almost 7 years, and my wife’s family has lived in Cumming for almost 30 years. I love all that Forsyth county has to offer. Exceptional schools for my children, a family rich area, the beauty of Lake Lanier and the mountains, and most importantly a community that cares. We are long standing members of First Redeemer Church and want to continue to be active members of this community.
