My journey into longevity medicine began long before I knew the word for it. I trained as a board-certified Family Medicine physician in the United States, where I learned to diagnose, treat, and support patients across every stage of life. But I quickly realized that most healthcare was reactive — waiting for problems instead of preventing them — and I wanted to practice a deeper, more proactive kind of medicine.

That led me to complete advanced training with the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, where I learned to blend evidence-based medicine with nutrition, stress physiology, lifestyle science, and mind-body health. My work at Canyon Ranch strengthened this approach even further, showing me what was possible when you combine medical expertise with advanced testing, performance metrics, and personalized lifestyle programs. It gave me a blueprint for truly comprehensive, precision-focused care.

When my wife and I decided to move our family to New Zealand, we chose Queenstown for its community, natural beauty, and way a life — a place where people value movement, health, purpose, and time with family. It felt like the ideal environment to raise our children and build a practice aligned with our values.

The Longevity Lab grew out of that vision. I created it to offer something that didn’t exist here — a place where people can understand their health through real data, advanced labs, biological age testing, and continuous monitoring, all interpreted through the lens of a physician who takes time to listen and guide. My mission is simple: to help people feel stronger, live longer, and approach their future with clarity and confidence.

Longevity isn’t about chasing youth — it’s about building a life with more energy, better function, and more years doing the things (and being with the people) that matter most. That belief is what brought me into this work, and it’s what continues to guide everything I do at the Longevity Lab.
