- Professional Interests
At this stage in my career, I enjoy treating the broad spectrum of vascular disease including arterial disease, venous disease, and dialysis access.
- Personal Interests
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, traveling, gastronomy, art and art history, and many forms of exercise with my current favorites being cardio boxing and Peloton.
- Why did you become a vascular surgeon?
The unique aspects of vascular surgery that attracted me to the specialty are the wide variety of cases, both endovascular and open, and the long-term relationships vascular surgeons build with patients.
- Why did you join VESS?
I joined the VESS after attending the VESS Fellows Program at the Annual Winter Meeting. I found the programming so relevant and helpful that I joined and now serve on the Vascular Resident Education Committee which develops that program for the Annual Winter Meeting. I also snow ski and I am excited by the opportunity to do both in amazing ski locations.
