ABOUT ME

I am a doctor, veteran, small business owner, and proud father running to represent New Jersey’s 12th District. I grew up working-class in Old Bridge and earned an ROTC scholarship to pay for my education at Rutgers. I joined the New Jersey Army National Guard and worked my way through Rutgers Medical School. While in residency, I treated victims and other first responders in a field hospital at Ground Zero on 9/11. I rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Army and served as a combat trauma surgeon in Iraq at the height of the war. One of my patients later became a United States Senator – Tammy Duckworth. 

Since completing my service, I have worked in New Jersey emergency rooms and built my own practice in Princeton. Over the last 30 years, I have volunteered to treat patients in war and disaster zones, including in Bosnia, Haiti, Sudan, Colombia, Belize, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey, and Jordan. In 2024 and 2025, I went on medical missions to Gaza, where I was trapped with my colleagues when Israel seized the Rafah Crossing. I refused to leave until all my colleagues, including US green card holders and other nationals, were guaranteed safe passage alongside the American citizens in the group. I was honored to be Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s State of the Union guest in 2025.

Everyday I see hospitals that can’t staff their emergency rooms. Doctors, who are trying to take care of their patients, have to fight with insurance companies and battle an insane level of bureaucracy just to do their jobs. And families — that’s all of us — are paying higher insurance premiums, and getting less care.

Too many people are being left without the care and stability that is a human right – and this affects all of us, whether you’re rich or poor and whether you have insurance or not.

The system isn’t built for regular people—it’s built for the ultra wealthy and the powerful.

It’s not just healthcare. The cost of living keeps rising — groceries, housing, electricity. Families are falling behind — even when they’re doing everything right.

Our education system is also falling behind. I went to public schools my entire life, from elementary school to medical school, and I received a top tier education — all of it here in New Jersey. But now you have to send your kids to strip malls for tutoring, if you can afford it. If not, your kids are left behind.

We need to get back to talking about the real issues that are hurting you and your family. This isn’t about one party or the other. The truth is, the whole system isn’t working for the American people.

"Now more than ever, we need courage in the halls of Congress to fight for us.

That is why I’m running to fight for every resident of New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District."

And the truth is, it never really has. Instead, it’s working for billionaires, special interests, and large corporations. Everyone else is expected to work harder, pay more, and accept less – and if you’re not at the top, you’re left in
the dust.

WHY I'M RUNNING

To build a government that works for you, not special interests

In the richest country in the world, you shouldn't have to choose between taking your medication and paying your bills. Your child's education shouldn't depend on their zip code. The economy should work for people whose hard work builds and sustains our communities—not just billionaires and corporations.

Our country faces crises of affordability and authoritarianism. We need a new generation of leaders with the courage to stand up to corruption and the competence to make life better for working families.
