My story starts out in Brooklyn NY where at the age of 5 I was telling everyone that someday I would be a doctor and not just “A doctor” but one that did not hurt people and one that cared and loved his patients. Being that I grew up in a poor Italian family my chances were slim to none of that happening.
In fact, my dad wanted me to be a carpenter like him and he disapproved of me telling people that I wanted to be a doctor. On report card days he would give me a beating for bringing home “A’s on my report card. So I grew up and became a design Engineer (which I hated). I remember going to work one day and praying to God to let me get into an accident so that I did not have to go to work.
Then one day my company released most of the senior designers and I was thrilled. This allowed me to open a business of my own, a nutrition center. Where I met a Chiropractor who offered me a position in his office doing nutrition for his Chiropractic patients.
I had been doing bodybuilding at this time and one day I was in a squatting contest and my lift was up to 615 pounds, I squatted down and could not get up! The guys at the gym took me to a Chiropractor who within 10 minutes had me pain-free and walking again.
I thought to myself that this was all God's plan as he knew how much I wanted to be a doctor and he has presented me with all of the necessary parts to go back to school and complete my Doctor of Chiropractic studies. This happened and I have been in my glory ever since.
