I began my career in pharmacy because I wanted to help people heal. For nearly 30 years, I worked as a licensed pharmacist in Florida and Virginia, owning and operating my own pharmacy, before discovering a more natural, restorative approach to wellness through Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).
In 2007, my wife and I relocated from South Florida to Charlottesville, Virginia with our young children, seeking a quieter, family-centered community. It was here that I was introduced to the healing capacity of HBOT through one of my pharmacy patients, a chance encounter that completely transformed my perspective on healthcare. I realized that true healing goes beyond symptom management; it’s about helping the body recover from within.
That realization led to the founding of Charlottesville Hyperbarics in 2019. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing remarkable transformations in patients from all walks of life, from veterans recovering from brain injuries to individuals seeking renewed vitality and clarity. Every day, I’m reminded why I made this shift: to provide a safe, drug-free therapy that helps people restore balance, energy, and quality of life.
Charlottesville is still home for my family and me, and I’m deeply grateful to serve this community through the power of oxygen and science-based wellness.
