Always wanting to live in New England, I started work at New England Rehab Hospital (where I met my wife Ginger, more on that later), and then worked at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston and finally a private orthopedic outpatient clinic. In 1986, my wife and I started an outpatient clinic in Wakefield, MA where we worked together for the next 31 years seeing a variety of neurological and orthopedic problems of all ages. Having moved to Maine and getting tired of the daily commute we closed the office in 2017 to be able to spend more time with our family, 3 wonderful children and their spouses as well as 6 wonderful grandchildren within the past 3 1⁄2 years. After taking a year off, I’m excited to be able to join this remarkable staff and be part of this special place (along with returning to work with my wife who has been with Lighthouse for the past year). Physical therapy has been an incredible journey in my life. Over the years, as I’ve learned more and incorporated many people’s ideas into my treatment approach, the human body and spirit still amazes me. I believe in working toward balance in all the body’s systems to incorporate pain free movement and improve functional movement patterns in order to maximize your goals. Being able to work with people and see these changes is what continues to motivate me to do this work.

I love to bicycle (my wife and I spent our two week honeymoon on our bikes and in tents), hike, snowshoe, cross-country ski, golf and spend time outdoors here in Maine. A special joy has also been having the opportunity to spend more time with our grandchildren.

I’m looking forward to working with and learning from this wonderful staff, to continue to grow and help provide my clients with the best care possible.
