"I am originally from Aliquippa, PA where my parents Janice and Sam still reside. My younger brother Nick, three years my junior, practices law down the hall from me! I attended St. Titus Elementary school in Aliquippa before attending Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School in Moon Township (graduated in 1999). My travels then led to me Meadville, PA for my undergraduate studies at Allegheny College. Fortunately, my first two preclinical years of medical school were spent in Bradenton, Florida at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) Bradenton. I received my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree June 8, 2008. My Internship and Internal Medicine residency were completed at UPMC Mercy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania between 2008-2011."
