BEE RIDGE VISION CENTER - Key Persons

Born and raised in Long Island, NY and Sharon, MA, I attended U Mass, Amherst and graduated from New England College of Optometry in Boston. My wife and I ran and practiced in several optometric offices in the D.C area for 12 years. I now consider Sarasota my home. I enjoy all that Florida has to offer: swimming, golfing, biking, and beaches. My favorite times are spent with my wife Susan and just enjoying the Florida weather. "Working at the Bee Ridge Vision Center means I can be a part of a caring and efficient office while feeling like I've never left home. The environment at the BRVC has given me the opportunity to meet many people who have become friends as well as patients."
