PROFESSIONAL LIFE:

I have a B.S. in electrical engineering from M.I.T. and went to medical school at the University of Michigan. After internship at UC San Diego and residency at Children's Hospital National Medical Center, I trained as a pediatric cardiologist at Johns Hopkins, where I was exposed to interventional pediatric cardiology at its inception. I was in academic medicine for 15 years, first as as a pediatric cardiologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, then Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children and, finally, as the Chief of the Division of Pediatric Cardiology at the Children's Hospital of NJ. I then went into private practice for 18 years. 

Throughout my career I've always been active in both medicine and engineering. I have 20 medical device patents, most of which have been assigned and/or licensed, and a startup company, MGI Medical, LLC, which is commercializing one of my inventions, the "Pulse Flowmeter'" which can detect occult hemorrhage well before the blood pressure drops, in patients with post-operative blood loss or GI bleeding. I also have patents on sporting good devices for camping, skiing, hockey, and scuba diving. After closing my clinical practice in 2015, I received an MBA from the Haslam School of Business, at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I developed lifelong friendships with other business oriented physicians.
