About Me

I'm a radiologist, with special training in neuroradiology and interventional radiology. I'm particularly interested in disease processes that affect the brain and spine. I initially started my post-graduate medical training in neurosurgery, but soon realized that I wanted to have a life outside of the hospital as well!

I do enjoy interacting with my referring clinicians. Once a week we hold a neuroradiology working conference for the Kaiser North Valley area. A group of mostly neurologists and neurosurgeons get together to review complex cases and their imaging studies. It is very rewarding to contribute to this conference, and help solve some tough clinical problems.

I came out of my neuroradiology fellowship with a job offer in hand for an academic position at a teaching hospital in Boston, but turned it down for a rewarding Kaiser Permanente career. I've been here for 4 years, and have not regretted a single moment.

One of the main reasons I enjoy practicing medicine here at Kaiser is the ability to focus all my energy on being a radiologist. I didn't go into medicine to be a businessman, marketer, or a manager--some responsibilities I would have to worry about in the private practice world. From a neuroradiologist's perspective, it is rewarding to be working at a major neurological disease referral center in the Kaiser system. We see some of the most complex clinical problems, and have some of the best clinicians in the world to help solve them.

I completed a two-year fellowship in neuroradiology following my general radiology residency, and am a senior member of the American Society of Neuroradiolgy. I'm a member of the Society of Interventional Radiology, as well as the Radiological Society of North America, the American Heart Association Stroke Council, and the American Society of Spine Radiology.

I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our family moved to Chicago when I was 12, and I went to college in St. Paul, MN. I attended medical school in Chicago, and moved to North Carolina to start residency in neurosurgery. I changed career paths after two years, and started in radiology at the Barrow Neurological Institute/St. Joseph's Medical Center in Phoenix. The residency director at the program left, and convinced me to follow him to his new post at the University of Vermont. I ultimately completed my neuroradiology training at Tufts/New England Medical Center.

I'm married with two children, ten and seven years of age. Right now, my world revolves around my family, and we take great advantage of the many attractions in the Sacramento area. Our kids have been skiing at Tahoe for the past 3 years, and we make regular visits to my extended family in southern California.
