Restorative Dentist and Surgeon
It’s a joy to be back in The City Beautiful, reconnecting with the Central Florida that shaped my life. Growing up here before Disney transformed the landscape, I remember Lake Howell as a quiet, natural retreat with Lake Drive as a simple dirt road. Central Florida’s beauty—Paynes Prairie, the crystal waters of the Ichetucknee Springs, the surf of New Smyrna Beach, and the timeless charm of Old Key West—is still one of my greatest inspirations.
As an original Disney cast member, I hope to see a return to the family-centered creativity that the brand was once known for. A proud graduate of the University of Florida and former resident advisor in Murphree Hall, my Gator pride is unwavering, especially on Saturdays in The Swamp!
After a fulfilling career as a dentist in the U.S. Navy, with deployments as far as Antarctica, and over 40 years in private practice across Denver, Pennsylvania, and Upstate New York, I now enjoy an active retirement. Volunteering downtown allows me to stay connected to my profession and my community.
I’m inspired by the new generation of Central Floridians who have access to world-class entertainment at Steinmetz Hall, the charm of Lake Eola, and theme parks that draw visitors from around the globe. For me, though, it’s the abundance of unspoiled nature that truly makes this place home.
