He is knowledgeable in breast, head and neck, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, brain, lung, and pediatric malignancies.

He spends his leisure time playing hockey and baseball with his two sons, and softball with his wife. He also derives great enjoyment from training his South African Mastiff to become a pet therapy dog.

When asked why he chose Radiation Oncology, he states, "Although I thoroughly enjoyed research and the technological aspect of medicine early in my career, I longed for patient contact. Radiation Oncology gives me the perfect setting to use my expertise in technology to help my patients fight their disease with the most advanced therapies possible."
