It’s an honor to have the opportunity to join this well-respected, world-class heart team.

My mission is to improve the lives of every patient I care for, through ongoing research and great patient care. My goal as a cardiothoracic surgeon is to provide world class care to every patient every time. I approach every patient as if they were my loved one or family member, using the latest surgical modalities of minimally invasive techniques and standard surgical procedures.

The disease process that brought a patient to require our care can be extremely daunting and stressful.

I look forward to being part of this excellent team that will walk through this process with you every step of the way.

I love my job as a cardiothoracic surgeon and being part of this team.
When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and doing all the great outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer including skiing, hiking, cycling, camping, woodworking and reading history.
