About Me
I seek the magic that life hides in the world and try to incorporate these “bits of magic” into smiles of those around me every day. Whether at home playing with my sons or volunteering for local organizations, I help bring that small twinkle of magic, the smile, to everyone. It is one of the reasons I became an orthodontist. At my office, I create magical moments by playing Disney movies, rocking 80s trivia and dancing teeth into position all day long. In my spare time, I like to read and watch all things, Disney, help friends plan their magical Disney vacations, exercise, travel, swim and volunteer at my synagogue. Being a Disney Dad provides me an opportunity to share what I love with you. Get ready to smile!
About My Family
I married the woman of my dreams, whom I met at a junior high school football game. Twelve years later we were married and now live in a suburb of Atlanta. Our sons, ages 19 and 15, love high excitement and thrills so it is not surprising to find them traveling through Tumbleweed on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, checking in the Hollywood Tower Hotel, or racing to a concert on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. They love to plan trips with me. We seek out our classic favorites and then search for a new angle to capture more magic. For us, magic is being immersed in culture, fantasy, and adventure. As a Disney Dad, I cherish those magical moments with my children when we explore Batuu as part of the Resistance, adventure down the Chakranadi on Kali River Rapids, and visit the 999 happy haunts in the Haunted Mansion. My wife and I regularly frequent the "place where dreams come true" with adults and enjoy the glitz and glamor of Disney's adult style. Every day, a trip to a Disney theme park is discussed in our home; it is our magical vacation destination and we can not wait to get back "home" and see Mickey.
About My Disney Experience
I have made Disney Parks my home on both coasts: Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando and Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA. When my oldest son turned 5 in 2008, we went with my in-laws to Walt Disney World Resort. I was hooked when I saw his face light up during the ferry ride across the Seven Seas Lagoon to Magic Kingdom Park. I love the parks; the beauty and complexity of their architecture, cuisine, and entertainment encourage me to return time and again. To me, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort are about the memories made on the attractions, the scent of fresh baked goods on Main Street, U.S.A., reliving childhood movie memories and even a haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop. I love seeing my boys interact with their favorite Disney characters, try new foods, and find the hidden details in every attraction. Our Disney adventures also include learning the Disney Way with the Disney Institute, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, Disney Cruise Line, and a couple of trips with Adventures By Disney. We are excited about our next trip where new favorite experiences and magical memories await.
