Care Philosophy
I am fortunate to work at University of Colorado School of Medicine and was drawn here due to the breadth of diverse and medically complex patients we care for by being a part of the region's only academic medical center. The ability to connect my patients with robust resources by being connected to one of the premier medical institutions worldwide made me confident I could help provide them with the best and most advanced care available. I am also excited to continue working with trainees in the role of teacher with an interest in both editorial work related to evidence-based medicine and original research. Outside the hospital, you can find me cycling, running, reading at a local coffee shop, or trying to keep pace with my wife, a trail runner and a much better athlete than myself.
