I attended medical school at the Medical College of Pennsylvania (now Drexel University) and then completed Internal Medicine residency at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburg. I am board-certified in Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. I have been practicing as a hospitalist since 1999 and served as hospitalist program director at Westmoreland Regional Hospital and subsequently at St. Clair Hospital in Pittsburgh.

This will be my second year attending the Honduras trip. My first trip in 2025 was unforgettable. I had the opportunity to work alongside great nurses, therapists, physician assistants, surgeons, anesthesia staff and many other integral and essential staff members. We had the privilege of meeting and caring for wonderful people whose surgical needs were long overdue.

I am once again grateful to have the honor and opportunity to be a part of this amazing team who provides the much-needed care that Operation Walk brings to the wonderful and most grateful people of Honduras.

Thank you for your help and support. They make this incredibly meaningful mission possible.
