"I grew up in Connecticut and attended college, medical school, and completed my residency and fellowship training in Boston. I served as a Navy medical officer for three years between internal medicine residency and rheumatology fellowship at the submarine base in Groton, Connecticut. I have a beautiful daughter who is currently living in Nashville and a beautiful Collie named Alfie! I enjoy practicing yoga and hiking outdoors, as well as music of all kinds. I love to travel to Maine every summer to vacation."
