graduate of the University of Miami Leonard Miller School of Medicine,

he trained as a general surgeon in the US Navy in Oakland, CA and was

board-certified by the American Board of Surgery. He completed his

residency in plastic surgery at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial

Hospital program under world-reknown plastic surgeon, D. Ralph Millard

and began his own practice in 1989. He is board-certified by the

American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of

Surgeons for over thirty years, a Senior Fellow at Do No Harm

(www.donoharmmedicine.org), and a Founding Fellow of FAIR in Medicine

(www.fairforall.org/fair-in-medicine). For 25 years he wrote a weekly

medical column for the Orlando Sentinel. In 2021, he began to push back

against the installation of antiracism and DEI in the American College

of Surgeons and, in April 2022, was banned for life by the leadership

from engagement with his fellow surgeons on the ACS website. He

continues his battle with the ACS to this day.
