At the University of California, and held the position of Program Director for the Vascular Surgery Residency Program as well as Chief of Vascular Surgery for the Sacramento Department of Veterans Affairs. I joined the faculty at Maine Medical Center in 2023.

My interests in vascular surgery include minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of complex arterial disorders and limb preservation, surgical management of carotid disease including carotid stenting, complex aortic pathology, and venous insufficiency. I believe in complete, patient centered treatment and education of complex vascular disorders. Lifestyle modification and family teaching are an integral part of therapy goals. Special interests include surgical resident and medical student education and research.

Interests outside of work include spending time with my family, New England activities such as skiing, hiking and biking. I also enjoy cooking and working as a sommelier in my spare time.
