I grew up in the Great Lakes and received my bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Penn State University. In a decade as a neonatal ICU, pediatric cardiac, and pediatric flight nurse, I had the opportunity to live in many cities throughout the country. In 2005, I settled in my wife’s native Northern California. Having experienced many parts of the country, I can say with confidence that Northern California has the best combination of climate and lifestyle available anywhere.

In addition to post-graduate training in anesthesia, I also have a master’s degree in, and am certified as, an Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.

I came to Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara in 2011 and am very happy to be a member of this outstanding team. My personal belief in a strong foundation in anesthetic principles and the provision of an individualized, multi-modal approach to a calming and comfortable experience for every patient has found a welcome home with this anesthesia group.

Outside of Kasier, I am a competitive cyclist, mountain biker, and triathlete. I enjoy hiking with my daughter and cooking. I am also an instructor and lecturer for the Program of Nurse Anesthesia at Samuel Merritt University.

Training:

Pennsylvania State University Bachelor of Science, Nursing

University of California, San Francisco Master of Science, Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

Samuel Merritt University Post-Master’s Certificate, Nurse Anesthesia

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
