I recently retired and moved to Charlotte,NC after practicing anesthesia for 25 years in Dayton,Ohio. This has given me an opportunity to explore my interest in music, gardening and art. I started playing the piano when I was five. My mother was my first teacher. After High school I attended the University of Cincinnati CCM for piano and French horn. I later received my Medical Doctorate at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and I completed my residency in anesthesiology at Duke University Medical Center.
