I became a pediatric otolaryngologist because children are more fun than adults. My clinical interests include all aspects of pediatric otolaryngology, with a specific focus on aerodigestive disorders and complex airway reconstruction. I live with his wife and three children in the Twin Cities, and enjoys running, reading, cooking, the Green Bay Packers, and spending time with family.
