I grew up in a small town in rural New Hampshire. When I was 4 years old, my grandmother suffered from a stroke and was in a vegetative state for 8 years before she passed away.  I only remember her in a vegetative condition and I knew, since childhood, that I wanted to help others with their health so that they didn't have to suffer the way my grandmother did.
 Through my experience, I have come to the conclusion that no matter what disease a person has, they do not have to suffer. Through changes in the physical, emotional and mental fields, suffering does not have to be a part of anyone’s experience.
 
I received my undergraduate degree at Chapman University, CA and my doctorate degree at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, AZ. After receiving my Naturopathic Medical Degree, I completed a residency with a focus in Oncological Care in Portsmouth, NH. My education has prepared me to treat the physical body, but it is my experience with patients that has prepared me to treat the whole person.
 It is my purpose to help others become more healthy so they can have more opportunity, more joy, and more time with the people they love.

I spent my childhood years in a lovely area of New Hampshire, a small, rural town named Hollis. I spent much of my time outdoors and enjoyed many sports, especially soccer, which I played in my college years. During my teenage years, I became plagued by chronic illnesses that impacted me on multiple physical and emotional levels. While attending undergraduate college to attain a B.A. in Biology (focus in Pre-Med) and Minor Degrees in Philosophy and Chemistry (with Honors), I was exposed to new ideas and perspectives on science, medicine, and health. This allowed me to start his healing journey, expand my awareness, and discover my life path. I then chose to attend the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine (UBCNM), a 4-year doctorate-level medical program to help others with severe, chronic illnesses.
 I continue to learn about natural medicine and healthful living through gardening, wild foraging, exploration, and developing better relationships with the local community. I strive to find the best ways to help people, learning from a diverse group, including indigenous cultures, hunters/gatherers, farmers, biochemists, physicists, and electrical engineers. I believe that happiness, fun, and love should be the main goals of life. This is why he focuses on personal development with his partner, creating an enjoyable environment for children and attending music festivals where he can’t help but sing, laugh, smile and dance like nobody’s watching.
