I was born and raised in Cincinnati, and attended Medical School there after graduating from Harvard. In 1963 my wife and I moved to Los Angeles to complete my medical training at UCLA/VA, and we have lived here since then, except for the 2 years of my military service, one of them in Vietnam. Professionally, I was a specialist in lung diseases, and spent much of my career taking care of critically ill patients in Intensive Care units.

We have lived in Westwood since 1971, raised our 3 children here, and have been very actively involved in Westwood community issues for many years .I hope to bring the experience, knowledge and expertise which I have acquired to the Westwood Neighborhood Council, so as to help make it an effective and powerful organization in its role of preserving and improving Westwood as a highly desirable and important residential, business, educational, cultural, and entertainment center.
