Bio I was born in Baltimore, grew up in its suburbs, and remained in the area through college and medical school. The beauty of San Francisco and the excellence of the residency program at UCSF lured me westward, and this has become my home. After residency, I spent three years in a private practice Anesthesia group in Springfield, Oregon. I was part a group of skilled professionals with a strong focus on quality and service. However, being away from the Bay Area proved too difficult and I sought to return. Luckily, I found an opportunity to join the Anesthesiology department at Kaiser Santa Rosa, where I am now part of a group of skilled professionals with a strong focus on quality and service. My indirect clinical interests include Operating Room Management and I am proud to be the Medical Director of the OR. As part of this role, I work with a regional group that strives to constantly enhance the high quality and efficient delivery of care throughout Kaiser Permanente.
