Biography
My mother and father moved to the US in the 80s when my mother was pregnant with me and opened an Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. I also have three sisters. I just had my first child, Vincenzo Cavataio on March 15th of this year with my girlfriend, Sabrina Cupp. My parents have worked tirelessly their whole lives to ensure that my sisters and I had the opportunities that they did not. They instilled a great work ethic and gratitude in me at a very young age.
I am most proud of the Golden Apple award given to me in residency for excellence in teaching and being valedictorian of my high school class.
I am trained in internal medicine and practice as a nocturnist, caring for patients at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital during the overnight hours.
When I am not at work I enjoy sport shooting, triathlons and hiking. However, most recently I have been doing a lot of diaper changing and baby rocking.
