I attended Georgetown University for my undergraduate and then continued on to pursuing my dreams of becoming a dentist at University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. I started working with my dad at his practice in 1988. My dad retired 6 months later and the rest is history. The most fabulous aspect of my life is the happy home life I was blessed with. My best friend and wife of 28 years, Wendy and I have three adult children who are all just about living their dreams. My son, R.J. is in medical school, Bethanie has her doctorate in physical therapy and Hannah is soon to become a third generation dentist. Wendy and I do a lot of hiking in the summer and snowshoeing and cross country skiing in the winter. Playing golf is also another summertime favorite. Dentistry is still a passion and learning more and doing different procedures as dentistry changes rounds out my life.
