Undergraduate Degree: Mercy College - Bachelors, Biology, General
My primary responsibilities lie with my family. I am a husband and a father. Secondary responsibilities are my duties as a medical student and responsibilities as a teacher. Outside of this I make time for other activities that further feed my soul. I have been an avid martial artist for the past six years. Training in Brazilian Jujitsu and Budo Taijutsu. I am also an avid camper and overall admirer of Nature. I like to spend time in the woods by myself studying the plants and animals in my surroundings. This has further developed into an appreciation for botany and mycology. On my free time I roam nature, identify plants or mushrooms and write down everything I learn about them. Last but certainly not least I am a spiritually oriented person. I am not a member of any particular religion; however, I do make time to acknowledge the Divinity that lies in all things.

What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe knowledge to be one of the most durable and valuable resources we can have as human beings, and because of this deep conviction, I pursue the education of each individual with passion. I realize that every time I help a student understand something about their world, their perspective of the universe they live in is never the same; this is a magical thing to me. My approach to teaching is not static nor formulated. I very much rely on my intuition and spend most of my introductory meetings with a student getting to know they're personal learning style. Once I get a good idea of how someone learns, I adapt my teaching style accordingly.
