1.

nail and the next day be performing a complex reconstructive surgery to allow someone to walk without
pain again.

7.

When you were a kid, what
did you want to be when
you grew up?

Lou Malnati's Chicago-style
deep dish cheese pizza. I
have to have it any time I
visit family in Chicago!

Either a veterinarian or an
architect, which is probably why I was interested
in podiatry-we practice
medicine and often approach the foot from a
structural and functional
point of view.

2.

What is your favorite movie?
I'm a big fan of the "Star Wars" movies. I grew
up watching them and was, and still am, a
"Star Wars" nerd.

4.

If you could meet any famous person, who would it be,
and why?
Benjamin Franklin. The guy was way ahead of his
time and just had a brilliant mind. It would be great
to grab a beer with him and watch his mind at work.

5.

Finish this statement: Tomorrow, I absolutely refuse to ...
Eat cilantro. I absolutely cannot stand the stuff.

6.

Why is podiatry the best career for you?

diverse. I love the idea that one day I can be improving someone's quality of life by removing an ingrown

What is your favorite vacation spot, and why?
The Caribbean. I have spent
much time in the US and
British Virgin Islands and
Jamaica. I love being on the
ocean and scuba diving. It's
very peaceful underwater.

9.

Where or to whom do you go
for advice?

My wife, Naomi. She understands how I
think, even when I'm wrong, which, according to her, is most of the time.

10.

What is the biggest change you've seen in
podiatric medicine since you started practicing?

With the exception of ICD-10, meaningful use,
and other government-imposed changes, I have
personally seen a big change in how podiatry is
viewed in my practice. My wife and I were the
first podiatrists hired into a multispecialty/hospital group. Upon our arrival, there was a good
amount of confusion and misunderstanding
around the training and abilities of podiatrists.
Over time, we have been able to educate our
colleagues and show the breadth of our abilities. The providers in our group, especially our
orthopedic colleagues, have become our biggest advocates.

8.

What do you do for fun
during your time off?
Spend time with my two
kids, Kate and Alex. I also enjoy
boating, especially sailing, and
woodworking. I enjoy building
furniture and have even built an
assortment of Adirondack chairs
and my bed frame.

What would your last meal be?
