I have been blessed to have an amazing family full of positive influences. Weather it was learning gratitude, empathy and compassion from my mother at a young age, witnessing kindness and a work ethic like no other from my father or admiring how my sister, a single mother, faces and overcomes challenges each day all while keeping herself sane. All three have and continue to be huge influences in my life that have made me a better man, better doctor and better neighbor.
