A Washington D.C. native, Dr Tabacco  credits much of his sports medicine background to his time as a three  sport highschool athlete at Georgetown Preparatory School where he was  recently inducted into the Hall of Fame as a member of the 2000 Football  team. Dr Tabacco also served as captain of the ice hockey team and was  an named to the all Montgomery county lacrosse team by the Montgomery  Journal. 

      A former NCAA College lacrosse player where he was a 3 year All- league selection and one year All American Nominee,  Dr Tabacco at one point  has suffered from most of the injuries he currently treats and derives  much of his passion for sports medicine from this fact. He continues to  serve as a team physician for the Washington Redskins and the Georgetown  Prep Hoyas. He serves as the medical director for The GW university Athletics.

      Dr Tabacco enjoys running, playing club lacrosse, and spending time with his wife and three children.
