A CU Medicine provider.
My goal in clinic is to inform a patient about their cardiovascular risks, then listen to understand their unique values so we can choose the best treatment path forward that aligns with their short and long term goals. This includes through lifestyle changes as well as medical therapy, percutaneous intervention, or investigational therapies when they are needed to achieve these goals.
My time away from the hospital is devoted to my wife, three kids, and our needy labrador. I love getting outside in the Colorado mountains to cycle, ski, and hike.

- Clinical interest for patients
-
My clinical focuses include the diagnosis and management of stable coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease as well as the acute management of heart attacks. In addition, I have a strong interest in aggressive preventative therapies to reduce the risk of having a heart attack using lifestyle changes and established medical therapies, as well as offering options for investigational prevention therapies when appropriate for the individual and their goals. I participate in several preventative therapy trials including anti cholesterol and anti-inflammatory drugs after heart attack, in addition to renal artery denervation for management of resistant high blood pressure to reduce lifetime cardiovascular risk.
