A CU Medicine provider.
I provide individualized care, with the highest level of integrity, to each patient affected by voice, swallowing, and airway disorders. I bring cutting edge knowledge and techniques to patient care. Most importantly, I approach patient care with a team philosophy that incorporates the patient, family, and other healthcare practitioners into the decision making process.
In my spare time, I enjoy long distance running, mountaineering, music, and eating.

My research interests include all areas of laryngology including voice, swallowing, early laryngeal cancers, and upper airway disorders. I have a particular interest in medical and surgical management of airway disorders including tracheal/subglottic stenosis, vocal fold paralysis, and posterior glottic stenosis.
