A physician, he moved his family to Ogdensburg more than 20 years ago to become chief medical officer at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, a post he held from 2005 to 2010 before serving in the same role at Holy Name Medical Center until 2022. He now practices at the Claxton-Hepburn Wound Care Center.
