I am a general surgeon with extensive experience in:

  • management of a variety of cancers involving the thyroid, breast, skin, colon and rectum
  • simple and complex hernia surgery
  • gall bladder surgery
  • laparoscopic and open abdominal procedures

I have additional specialty training in trauma surgery and surgical critical care.

I am board certified in general surgery and surgical critical care.

I am a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons.

In September 2013, I retired from the Navy after serving for 26 years.  I moved to the Bethlehem area to work at St. Luke’s and develop the St. Luke’s International Surgical Studies (SLISS) program.  My passion is to meet the surgical needs of under-served populations throughout the world as well as train the next generation of health care professionals to meet the needs of the international community.
