I am a physician who has spent my career caring for people as they age, walking alongside them through illness, recovery, uncertainty, and, at times, the end of life. As a board-certified geriatrician and lifestyle medicine physician, my work has never been limited to managing disease. It has always been about understanding how people live, how they change, and what continues to matter as life becomes more complex.

Over the years, my patients have taught me far more than any textbook. They have shown me what resilience looks like in its quietest forms, how identity shifts with time, and how meaning is often found not in the milestones, but in the moments in between.

My own life has also been shaped by experiences I could not have anticipated. The loss of my son changed the way I understand both medicine and life. It blurred the line between doctor and human being, and deepened the lessons I had witnessed for years in the lives of those I cared for.

These experiences led me to write Life, Love, and the In-Between, a reflection on aging, loss, connection, and what it means to live well across the full arc of life. My work is grounded in the belief that aging is not simply a process of decline, but one of continued growth, adaptation, and evolving purpose.

In addition to my writing, I am the founder of GeriAcademy, where I share insights on healthspan, longevity, and the practical realities of aging, through a framework that integrates clinical medicine with the lived experience of my patients.

Whether in my clinical work or my writing, my goal is the same, to help people better understand their lives as they are living them, and to approach aging with clarity, intention, and meaning.
