“Witnessing firsthand the debilitating effects of Lewy Body on my mother as a patient and on my father as her caregiver has made me a strong believer in the Parkinson’s Association of SWFL’s mission to maximize the quality of life for all people affected by this disease, including those unsung heroes who selflessly care for loved ones.”

His daughter recently graduated from Amherst College and his son is a rising senior at Princeton University. Outside of work, you can find him spending time with his family, on a yoga mat, or on the pickleball courts – since he has yet to find squash and badminton courts in Naples!
