This is my daughter and me posing for a

picture before handing out Christmas cookies to some of my patients. Every year my wife is kind enough to make some cookies and my daughter loves going with me to hand them out. It has become somewhat of a tradition for us.

I have been working within the hearing industry for over half a decade within Pasco and Hernando County of Florida. I care about my patients and want to help them achieve their hearing potential. I always will work with my patients for as long as needed. Sometimes, if a patient has owned hearing aids before, he/she will know pretty much what to do and needs little hand holding. However, if the patient has never owned hearing aids or has other difficulties such as poor vision or dexterity, sometimes he/she may need me to visit a little more often or a little longer. Be assured that this is okay. My goal is to help you hear better, which I hope is your goal too.

I have also been serving as board member for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services of Florida for the past five years. I have held the Vice-Chariman for two years and now have been elected Chairman of the Board. I also have a blog with stories and videos of some of my success stores and just recently I was chosen to be a blogger/writer for The Better Hearing Institute in Washington, D.C. and Chicago. I feel that being able to write for The Better Hearing Institute is an honor and is another way to get the “right” information out to people about hearing loss and the effects it has on one’s life.

My mission is to help people hear better. I always stress to my patients that in order for them to achieve this goal, it is crucial that they actively participate in the rehabilitation process. This includes following through with the homework I give to them and not resisting the process. I have found that those patients who will stop at nothing to hear better, will always reach their goal.
