Welcome!

This is the portal for current and prospective students interested in not merely learning, but discovering and mastering the wonders of the world through the natural and medical sciences!

After a decade of working as a surgeon I decided to dedicate myself to the singular goal of preventing the suffering caused by lifestyle-related chronic disease.  I do this by dedicating myself to my two professional passions: lifestyle medicine health coaching and high-quality, personalized teaching future healthcare leaders and providers.

Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of students, from gifted and highly motivated high school students to professionals keen on honing their knowledge and skills and lifelong learners.

I enjoy working with a wide range of students, including:

  • Post-graduate: Experienced doctors, pharmacists, and surgical residents.
  • Graduate Students: Healthcare students (MD, DO, DPT, DPM, ND, PA, NP, OT, RN) including Harvard medical students.
  • Undergraduate Students: Students enrolled in pre-health programs (pre-med, pre-nursing, and pre-dental).
  • Gifted High School Students: Highly-motivated students passionate about STEM and medical sciences and eager to establish robust foundations.
  • Life-long Learners: Adults with a growth mindset and an insatiable intellectual curiosity including company founders, venture capitalists, presidents, CEO's and other C-suite executives, high-performing NFL Hall of Fame athletes, and everyday active retirees.

If you love to discover, then I want to be your guide!

Given that I split my time between my two passions of health coaching and teaching, I only work (one-on-one or with very small groups) with a very small and select number of highly-motivated students each semester (year-round, including summers). This small teacher-student ratio allows me to get to know each one of my students, develop a unique rapport, usually leading to months or years of fruitful and rewarding collaboration and great academic and intellectual accomplishments.

If you would like to work with me then contact me for a Complimentary 15-minute Phone Consultation to discuss your particular needs (Click on the button below and please select "ELITE Academy" as a Subject).

Thank you for visiting and I look forward to hearing from you!
