Summary

  • I am a board-certified hematologist-oncologist, in practice for over 30 years, retired since 2017. After medical school at Tulane University, I received my internal medicine and heme-onc training at UCLA. I spent 5 years on the UCLA faculty, before moving to Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin, where I've spent the remainder of my career. My practice interests include breast and lung cancer and thrombo-embolic disorders. My research over the last 15 years has been in cancer screening, particularly related to lung cancer.

    I have served as chair of Hematology-Oncology, Chair of the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation Board and President/CEO of Marshfield Clinic and Chair of the Marshfield Clinic Health System Foundation Board.
