MD

Background

I grew up in New York, earned my BA from Columbia, and completed my MD/MBA at Harvard. After medical school, I moved to the West Coast for internal medicine residency at Stanford, followed by a year as a hospitalist and research assistant professor. My professional interests focus on electrophysiology, medical devices, and value-based healthcare, with a particular emphasis on price transparency in cardiology and innovation. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my wife, hiking with our two dogs, and exploring wineries.
