I graduated from the Interservice Physician Assistant Program in 2012. My formative years as a physician assistant were spent in family medicine, urgent care, and emergency medicine treating mostly patients that were in the military. These specialties provided me with experience caring for patients across a wide range of ages and medical needs.
In 2019, I returned from a deployment to Afghanistan with the Colorado Army National Guard and accepted a position in the Head and Neck Surgery Department with Dr. Atiyeh at UCHealth, functioning as her right hand in providing exceptional, compassionate care to our head and neck cancer patients. I worked in head and neck surgery in an inpatient and outpatient capacity for 3.5 years until recently, where I accepted a general ENT PA position within our same group.
I have a passion for patient education and am committed to making sure my patients understand their diagnoses and treatment plans. I am excited for my new role where I will take care of patients with general ENT complaints, including tonsillar disease, sinus disease, nose pathologies, hearing loss and other ear diseases, salivary gland disorders, swallowing disorders, vestibular disorders, neck masses, and thyroid and parathyroid disease in the outpatient setting.
I have a wife, two children, three dogs, and enjoy getting outside with them whenever I can.
