I grew up in West Palm Beach, after moving from Montreal in 1978. I attended the Jewish Community Day School and Forest Hill High School, graduating as valedictorian in 1990. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in the Biological Basis of Behavior from the University of Pennsylvania in 1994 and the Doctor of Dental Medicine degree summa cum laude from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1998. I received my specialty certificate in Orthodontics from Tufts in 2000.

As part of my philosophy to continually deliver excellence in both orthodontic treatment and patient service, I attend courses and meetings to further my education and obtain additional expertise in the latest techniques.

I am a Diplomate, American Board of Orthodontics and a member of the American Dental Association, the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society.

My wife, Erika, and daughter, Lexi, and I currently reside in Wellington.
