I am a traditionally trained, licensed pharmacist that transitioned into a functional approach to disease over 30 years ago - creating the term "Holistic Pharmacist". Having a firm grasp of biochemistry has been vital in my ability to help my patients understand how their bodies are working (or not) and how best to change function for the better. Central to my approach is recognizing the limitations of traditional medicines, which often target the symptoms and manifestations of disease, while my approach is to get to the root of the problem.

Teaching and educating patients and the community about wellness is a true passion. I hosted and produced a weekly radio show about Integrative Medicine called "Your Prescription for Health" for more than 20 years that aired in the Baltimore/Washington area as well as Los Angeles at times. I have taught for The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and for The Johns Hopkins University's Odyssey Program - classes including "The Holistic Approach to Aging" and "Medical Cannabis 101". I have also spent time high in the Andes Mountains in both Ecuador and Peru learning from shaman about their spirituality and approach to wellness.

For the past 6 years I have worked in the Medical Cannabis arena, acting as Clinical Director and Dispensary General Manager (for 3 years) of the largest Medical Cannabis company in Maryland. In that role, I developed a unique training program for my staff of patient care advisors to properly guide patients in the use of Medical Cannabis, as well as conducted countless sessions with individual patients.

Central to my ability to help my patients is the recognition that each of us are unique individuals with equally unique biochemistries and distinct ways that we have learned to interact with our environments - all of which can result in the development of disease or less-than-optimal aging. Every session that I conduct ends up being different than every other session - there is no cookie cutter approach with my work.

I respect and honor the path that you have taken to get to where you are. If you are looking for a different path, it would be my honor to be of assistance and to partner with you in cultivating a deeper understanding of yourself, your body, and creating a holistic approach to your ultimate wellness.
