I am an orthopedic surgeon from Upstate, NY. During a lifetime of service and commitment to others I have benefited greatly. The time has come to share my story and reach out to people who might enjoy these musings.

Several years ago, I started a non-profit called Medicus Christi, Ltd and am the Executive Director. “MC” was founded to bring modern, compassionate medical care to the poor in underserved nations. We have started our work in Ghana, West Africa. We are partnering with the Catholic Health System of that country and The Vatican to create a unique healthcare development program. We have the personal Blessing of the Holy Father and were the recent recipient of a grant from the Papal Foundation, not for occasional visits but to establish a fully functioning Orthopedic Hospital and Learning Center. In this way we hope to promote long term human resource and infrastructure creation for the future of the continent.

My wife Kate and I reside in Menands, NY with our two children, Joseph and Anna.
