AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, I WENT TO THE UNIV OF ILLINOIS. MY DEGREE WAS IN POLITICAL SCIENCE, SO COVERING ALL BASES, I APPLIED TO BOTH MED SCHOOL AND LAW SCHOOL. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, THE U OF ILL MEDICAL SCHOOL ACCEPTANCE LETTER ARRIVED FIRST, SO MY DECISION WAS MADE.
IN MY 1ST SEMESTER BIOCHEM CLASS, I MET MY FUTURE WIFE, JEAN. WE MARRIED IN 1970 AND MOVED TO TAMPA FL FOR MY RESIDENCY. OUR SON, ERIC, WAS BORN IN 1973. WE MOVED TO NAPLES, FL (AKA PARADISE) IN 1975 TO BEGIN MY INTERNAL MEDICINE PRACTICE. GABRIELLE WAS BORN IN 1977.
ABOUT 13 YEARS AGO, I CHANGED MY PRACTICE TO FOCUS ON "ANTI-AGING". EVER SINCE, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HOLD BACK THE HANDS OF TIME. HOPEFULLY WITH SOME SUCCESS. I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING MY 3 GRANDSONS AND 1 GRANDDAUGHTER AS WELL AS PLAYING GOLF.
LOOKING FORWARD TO RENEWING OLD FRIENDSHIPS.
