I am attracted to vascular surgery because we provide new, evidence-driven technologies and surgeries for complex patient problems. Vascular surgery is always changing. We are not only learning new things, but we are also consistent with tried-and-true methods. I also enjoy taking care of my patients over the long term.Getting to Know MeI was born and raised in Minnesota and enjoy spending time with family. I am married and have two sons.
