I grew up in Virginia, attended the University of Virginia as an undergraduate and Vanderbilt University for medical school. I decided to pursue pediatrics and moved to Denver in the mid-90s to train at The Children's Hospital. After completing my residency, I worked there briefly and then joined the East Denver pediatric group in early 2001. Initially I combined my clinical practice with work as a hospitalist at Children's, but for the past several years I focus solely in the medical office while serving as the administrative chief of the pediatric department at East Denver Medical Office. I am married to a fellow pediatrician and we have two children and two dogs.
