Summary
- I am a board-certified radiation oncologist at MRO Fairview Southdale and a Minnesota native. I enjoy the privilege of establishing professional relationships and working directly with so many brave patients while sharing advances in technology and tailoring treatments to maximize effectiveness and minimize side effects.
I am passionate about using the latest proven technologies for treating all types of cancer. In addition to extensive experience treating patients with prostate seed brachytherapy and gynecologic brachytherapy, my expertise includes all forms of stereotactic brain and body radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and general radiotherapy.
My interests in engineering, applied mathematics, and advanced technology brought me to the medical specialty of radiation oncology. As a co-leader of MRO’s Prostate Brachytherapy group, we are advancing MRO’s leadership vision by sharing leading-edge radiation therapy with colleagues and patients similar to the enterprising MRO doctors who in 1988 performed the first prostate seed brachytherapy in Minnesota.
In addition to being a husband and dad, I enjoy participating in year-round outdoor physical activities and sharing my love of jazz by performing in my spare time.
