Clinical Interests
I have a practice that focusses on gastrointestinal malignancies, pancreas and liver tumors and melanoma.

Care Philosophy
I make it my priority to take time to make sure patients and family understand care pathways in layman's terms. I treat patients the same way I would want my family treated.

Personal Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and baking for family and friends. I enjoy gardening and any outdoor activities Colorado has to offer.

Volunteer Activities
I am active as a volunteer in my local church and have served on the operations committee. I serve as a sponsor for an orphanage in Kenya and travel regularly to perform mission surgery with the same organization in Kenya.

Public Speaking
Yes
I have spoken on behalf of the University. I often give updates on new techniques in surgery. Interesting aspects of my practice and requested topical lectures on hepatopancreaticobiliary disease. I have given many talks on my translational research efforts on cancer metastasis and the immune system.
