What I Do
I live Neurosurgery. I am the Medical Director for the St. Cloud Hospital Center for Neurosciences.
My clinical interests include cerebrovascular neurosurgery, including brain aneurysm clipping; arteriovenous malformation; extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery, among others; skull-based tumors; minimally invasive spine surgery; complex spine surgery; hydrocephalus; and trauma.
Why I Love My Work
I have the privilege of sharing some of the most difficult life challenges with my patients and colleagues. I welcome the responsibility of helping my patients navigate through occasionally very treacherous obstacles. There is nothing more satisfying to me than to achieve the best possible outcome with the least harm.
Getting to Know Me
In my free time, I enjoy quality time with my family and traveling. To expand my mind, I read widely. To maintain physical readiness, I run and lift weights.
