A graduate of Gettysburg College where I received my B.A. degree and the University of Basel, Switzerland where I received my M.D. degree, my professional career spans more than thirty years and includes experience in all phases of pathology (anatomic, clinical, forensic, and cytopathology). I have served as the medical director of hospital laboratories, forensic medical examiner’s toxicology laboratory and private laboratories. As Deputy Chief Medical Examiner of Suffolk County I investigated the mass murder now known as The Amityville Horror. My investigation was detailed in the nonfiction book, High Hopes, by the late district attorney Gerard Sullivan. I also investigated a landmark case that provided the concept of brain death to the legal profession. I have also been a private pathology consultant to the legal profession on matters ranging from death and injury investigation to medical malpractice. I was interviewed and consulted for the movie The Amityville Horror, released to theaters in April 2005. My onscreen interview for that movie can be seen on the home edition DVD. I have also appeared in a documentary about the murders for the A&E network and broadcast in April, 2006, Ronald DeFeo, First Person Killers. In addition to being a forensic consultant on network and local news, I have been a guest on Court TV and recognized as a medical expert in the many state courtrooms. I have authored many scientific papers including one credited with revising the therapy of carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix. A recipient of many awards, including a mayor’s proclamation, I have also lectured extensively to medical and lay audiences. I have also authored a textbook, Forensic Medicine, published in 2007 by Chelsea House Publishers as a part of their Inside Forensic Science Series.
