About Me
I am a professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Therapy Services and prepare Penn State College of Medicine students for careers in sports medicine. I have a special interest in the care of overhead athletes, such as pitchers, swimmers, and football, volleyball and tennis players, who have a greater risk of shoulder strain. I also specialize in rotator cuff and multi-ligament knee injuries, as well as articular cartilage defects, which usually affect the knee joint.
I enjoy serving my community as medical director for the Harrisburg Senators baseball team and team physician for several Hershey-area high schools.
