The reason I became an optometrist is: I am passionate about patients and helping them develop solutions that will ultimately enable them to lead better lives.

In my spare time, I enjoy: He is passionate about his wife, four children and his St. Bernard and spends most of his free time with his family surfing off his boat on the rivers of the Chesapeake Bay. Annapolis Junior Rowing is another cause which he has passionately devoted his time as Vice President as well as overseeing his children rowing careers.
