WHEN HE WAS FIVE YEARS
old, David Alessi received a see-
through human anatomy model
and brought it to kindergarten
for show and tell. "I knew all
the parts and organs inside," he
recalls. "When I was a kid, if you
were smart, they either said you
would become a lawyer or a
doctor. Ever since I can remember,
I wanted to be a doctor."
He jokes that his father was
also an MD—although his post-
nominal initials stood for "metal
dealer" as he sold steel. Though
Dr. Alessi has no familial ties to
the medical profession; it was an
early interest he couldn't shake.
