"Becoming a pediatrician was always a lifelong dream of mine. I grew up with a father who practiced pediatrics for over 50 years. Taking care of children from birth to early adulthood is challenging, exciting and very rewarding. The interaction with the children as they grow, thrive and mature is priceless. I have a special interest in infectious disease and trauma. My wife, two kids and myself love living in San Diego. We enjoy tennis, scuba diving, fishing, traveling and going to the beach."
