About
I am a physician caring for persons with Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses and related disorders.
I am a first time and (most likely) a 'one time' author of a self-published book (through Xlibris):
In the Crucible of Chronic Lyme Disease

Additionally I am an avocational musician, playing trumpet/cornet with a local (sometimes) Marching Brass Band, The Berkshire Stompers in Northwest Connecticut/Northeast Dutchess County and a member of the Dutchess Community College Jazz Ensemble.
