He explores the differences between red and near infrared light, as well as the benefits of using specific pulses for different purposes such as 40 hertz for inflammation and brain health, 2.94 hertz for eyes, 5.87 hertz for lymphatic flow, and 4.69 for pain relief. He delves into the effects of light penetrating through the sinuses and eyes up into the nasal cavities, and how one should take off their clothing to ensure maximum effectiveness.

In 2018, he started the first light therapy wellness center in New Jersey where he met with clients from all walks of life, all ages, and with the gambit of issues.

He went from running ultra-marathons and boxing to being sedentary. Within 4 months, his symptoms decreased over 80%. The improvements he felt from light therapy were life-altering. He’s now back to running and boxing and living life. His goal is to now help others get back to doing what they enjoy in life, without pain or pills. With a focus on safety and quality, he began LightpathLED to create the best home use panels on the market.
