OVERVIEW
I was born on August 8th, 1976 in Manhassett, NY. These are both very important facts to know in order to get to know me. For one, that makes me a Leo and a Leo I am. I am a true competitor in everything I get my hands on, from continually improving the absolute best dental practice I can, to throwing a football harder then the next guy, to hitting the most home runs on my softball team and to now my quest for Blackbelt in Mu Thai kickboxing. Secondly, I was born with a thick New York "sometimes thuggish sounding" accent that no matter how hard I try I just can't shake. Add my accent to the fact that I do not hesitate to speak my mind (only like a true New Yorker does) and boy I can get myself in a lot of trouble, especially from my new BEAUTIFUL, genius wife Melissa. As you now know I am recently married and although we have no kiddos yet, I am truly a family oriented man. I am also the youngest of three boys with 2 awesome parents.
I don't have this overly compelling or …wonderful story as to why I became a dentist but I can truly say I am really happy I did. The truth is my dad wanted all 3 of his sons to become doctors and in turn he got 2 dentists and chiropractor. I love what I do, not because I am the best dentist in the world (which I'm close) but because my practice gives me the opportunity to help people achieve a better quality of life. I not only do this through my hands-on dentistry but I love to coach, educate and advise my patients, staff or whoever will listen and appreciate what I have to teach.
I am best known for my drive to succeed and the unique humor I add to pretty much anything I do. Life would be terribly boring if there was an definitive end to what you could accomplish in life and if you couldn't laugh while doing it. I take pride in knowing how many people we employ in my two practices, Roselle Park Dental and Little Smiles of Roselle Park. It is a great feeling and sense of accomplishment that gets reinforced on a daily basis whenever my staff or patients say how much they love being in the practice. Although I've come to realize you cannot please everyone, since my practice is a reflection of me, I take it extremely personally when someone is unsatisfied with the way my practice is run or with the effort I put into my work.
Deep down I always give people the benefit of the doubt and I always find myself rooting for the underdog. Maybe that's why I'm such an avid Jet fan: man, will they ever win a Super Bowl again? Yes I have Patriots' fans as patients. Here's a quick story for what I'm truly like. One night when I was in high school, right before my chorus recital (for the lucky ones who have been blessed by my singing, it's true I was in the chorus), there was a kid sitting by himself getting made fun of by some other kids. I felt compelled to sit next to this kid named Howie and befriend him. I did this because it was the right thing to do and it makes me furious when people pick on other people that are different from them. If you ever get a chance to see me hit or kick the punching bag while training, you will now understand what predominantly fuels my fire.
