Our Team

My‬‭ fascination‬‭ with‬‭ eye‬‭ care‬‭ began‬‭ in‬‭ third‬‭ grade,‬‭ a‬‭ time‬‭ when‬‭ my‬‭ own‬‭ classroom‬‭ participation‬‭ was‬‭ negatively‬‭ impacted‬‭ thanks‬‭ to‬‭ frequent‬‭ headaches.‬‭ An‬‭ eye‬‭ exam‬‭ revealed‬‭ myopia,‬‭ and‬‭ the‬‭ subsequent‬‭ prescription‬‭ of‬‭ glasses‬‭ transformed‬‭ my‬‭ world.‬‭ This‬‭ personal‬‭ experience‬‭ ignited‬‭ a‬‭ deep‬‭ interest‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ impact‬‭ of‬‭ vision‬‭ on‬‭ daily‬‭ life‬‭ and‬‭ fueled‬‭ my‬‭ desire‬‭ to‬‭ help‬‭ others‬‭ experience‬‭ the‬‭ world‬‭ clearly‬‭ and‬‭ comfortably.‬‭ That‬‭ passion‬‭ led‬‭ me‬‭ to‬‭ The‬‭ Ohio‬‭ State‬‭ University,‬‭ where‬‭ I‬‭ earned‬‭ my‬‭ undergraduate‬‭ and‬‭ Doctor‬‭ of‬‭ Optometry‬‭ degrees.‬‭ After‬‭ graduating,‬‭ I‬‭ felt‬‭ a‬‭ strong‬‭ connection‬‭ to‬‭ Cincinnati,‬‭ especially‬‭ after‬‭ the‬‭ rewarding‬‭ experiences‬‭ I‬‭ had‬‭ during‬‭ my‬‭ pediatric‬‭ externships‬‭ at‬‭ Oyler‬‭ One‬‭ Sight‬‭ Vision‬‭ Center,‬‭ Middletown‬‭ Eye‬‭ Care,‬‭ and‬‭ Settlers‬‭ Walk‬‭ Eye‬‭ Care.‬‭ I‬‭ knew‬‭ I‬‭ wanted‬‭ to‬‭ build‬‭ my‬‭ career‬‭ here.‬

My‬‭ professional‬‭ journey‬‭ has‬‭ allowed‬‭ me‬‭ to‬‭ experience‬‭ many‬‭ facets‬‭ of‬‭ eye‬‭ care‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ region.‬‭ I‬‭ began‬‭ honing‬‭ my‬‭ skills‬‭ through‬‭ comprehensive‬‭ eye‬‭ care,‬‭ pediatric‬‭ and‬‭ binocular‬‭ vision,‬‭ refractive‬‭ surgery,‬‭ and‬‭ contact‬‭ lens‬‭ services‬‭ during‬‭ employment‬‭ at‬ Clarkson‬‭ Eyecare,‬‭ Lasik‬‭ Vision‬‭ Institute,‬‭ Midwest‬‭ Eye‬‭ Center,‬‭ and‬‭ Cincinnati‬‭ Eye‬‭ Institute‬‭ Foundation.‬‭ I‬‭ developed‬‭ a‬‭ passion‬‭ for‬‭ dry‬‭ eyes‬‭ treatment‬‭ and‬‭ dove‬‭ deeper‬‭ into‬‭ the‬‭ world‬‭ of‬‭ managing‬‭ dry‬‭ eyes‬‭ through‬‭ the‬‭ use‬‭ of‬‭ advanced‬‭ treatments‬‭ such‬‭ as‬ LipiFlow,‬‭ IPL,‬‭ and‬‭ BlephEx‬‭ in‬‭ conjunction‬‭ with‬‭ pharmaceutical‬‭ therapies.‬‭ I‬‭ continue‬‭ to‬‭ practice‬‭ at‬‭ Cincinnati‬‭ Eye‬‭ Institute‬‭ Foundation‬‭ clinics,‬‭ where‬‭ I‬‭ focus‬‭ on‬‭ providing‬‭ care‬‭ to‬‭ underserved‬‭ populations‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ Cincinnati‬‭ and‬‭ Northern‬‭ Kentucky‬‭ areas‬‭ as‬‭ well‬‭ as‬‭ train‬‭ first‬‭ year‬‭ optometry‬‭ residents.‬‭ I‬‭ also‬‭ work‬‭ as‬‭ a‬‭ sub-investigator‬‭ at‬‭ Intrepid‬‭ Research‬‭ Institute,‬‭ contributing‬‭ to‬‭ the‬‭ advancement‬‭ of‬‭ eye‬‭ care‬‭ through‬‭ clinical‬‭ research.‬

Now,‬‭ I’m‬‭ incredibly‬‭ excited‬‭ to‬‭ embark‬‭ on‬‭ a‬‭ new‬‭ chapter‬‭ by‬‭ opening‬‭ my‬‭ own‬‭ private‬ practice‬‭ in‬‭ Cincinnati.‬‭ I’m‬‭ passionate‬‭ about‬‭ providing‬‭ comprehensive‬‭ eye‬‭ care‬‭ and‬‭ building‬‭ strong‬‭ relationships‬‭ with‬‭ my‬‭ patients,‬‭ both‬‭ new‬‭ and‬‭ those‬‭ I’ve‬‭ had‬‭ the‬‭ pleasure‬ of‬‭ serving‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ past.‬‭ It’s‬‭ a‬‭ dream‬‭ come‬‭ true‬‭ to‬‭ establish‬‭ a‬‭ family-owned‬‭ small‬‭ business‬‭ with‬‭ my‬‭ wife,‬‭ Elizabeth,‬‭ and‬‭ our‬‭ daughter,‬‭ Hazel,‬‭ and‬‭ to‬‭ become‬‭ an‬‭ integral‬‭ part‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ Cincinnati‬‭ eye‬‭ care‬‭ community.‬
