When I was a child, my parents and teachers in Brooklyn said I could become anything I wanted to be. Great, but so much to choose from! Eventually I went to S.U.N.Y. StonyBrook, majored in biology and thought of becoming a marine biologist "I like water...love to swim and snorkel....already a lifeguard in the summer." Besides, StonyBrook had a semester long marine biology program in Jamaica!

By the time I was a junior and could apply, S.U.N.Y. decided to send language students to France instead. Come to think of it, I wasn’t ready to devote myself to studying lovely sea creatures. This soon made me a bachelor of sciences in biology without a career goal.

This period grew into several years of travel with work as a lifeguard and New York City taxi driver to support myself. I spent time in awesome places like the coast of the Red Sea and various Greek islands. Lots of swimming and snorkeling there! I did yoga, calisthenics and walked daily, felt great and believed fully the yoga saying "the key to health is a flexible spine".

One day when I was 22, in Berkeley, California I met an 80 year-old retired nurse who told me that as a 25 year-old she worked for an elderly doctor who was a great healer. Before dying he held her hands, looked into her eyes, blessed her and passed his healing power to her. She then took my hands in hers, looked me in the eyes and said she was passing her healing power to me.

Cab driving in New York several months later I realized I wanted a career, but the inevitable question arose "what?". I knew a well aligned, flexible spine was crucial to good health, had a biology degree and hands possibly blessed with healing power. If I could fit this together I’d be on to something. A local chiropractor began a series of radio ads explaining chiropractic was a hands-on, drugless, healing method. He said it works by moving vertebrae to reduce nervous system stress, improve alignment and allow the body to heal itself. Something clicked! Chiropractic was like doing yoga on people to help them recover from injury and improve their health.

From that moment on my path was set. I attended the National College of Chiropractic and did well in my studies. I truly respect what chiropractic can do for people. Most often, people see me for help with headaches, migraines, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash, backaches, numbness in arms or legs, athletic injuries and chronic pain.

For many years in my post-graduate studies I have pursued hands-on treatment methods. In addition to chiropractic adjusting I emphasize soft tissue work and rehabilitation. I love to teach people simple, effective stretches and exercises to help correct their problems. This speeds recovery and prevents problems from coming back.

In practice I help people become and stay healthy. I emphasize a healthy lifestyle through chiropractic, eating healthful and delicious food, learning to use your body safely, and regular, enjoyable stretching and exercise. I believe good health is our birthright, achievable for most people.

Fortunately, before going to chiropractic school I met Charlene while working as a lifeguard in a summer camp in Beacon, New York. Charlene is a talented artist, as you can see by a quick look at my office. Together we have four sons, Isaac, David, Josh and Marcus.

Currently I’m excited that my office, Georgetown Chiropractic is improving in the spring of 2009. We now have an acupuncturist and two massage therapists PLUS we’re in the middle of remodeling and beautifying the office. I also enjoy anything outdoors and spending time having fun with my family and friends.
