About me
I'm from Virginia and went to school at the University of Virginia and Johns Hopkins Medical School. I had always lived on the East Coast but came to Colorado to explore all of the outdoor wonders it had to offer. I have loved living in Colorado ever since and have no plans to leave! I have a wonderful wife and a black lab/border collie named Oliver.
About my practice
I have the privilege of taking care of patients when they are frightened, sick and having an emergency. My main goal is to provide you with an accurate diagnosis as quickly as possible so that we can get you feeling better and back to doing the things you love. I believe in working with patients to come up with the ideal decisions and care plans for them. Every patient is different and deserves the option to make informed choices about their care through collaboration with their physician. I seek to use evidence-based medicine to help my patients make the most well-informed decisions possible.
How I thrive
I love to read and exercise. My favorite books are those on psychology, decision making and behavioral economics. I love the work of Daniel Kahneman, Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Dan Gilbert.

Information in this online directory is updated periodically and applies to commercial plans underwritten by Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Colorado. The availability of physicians, hospitals, providers, and services may change. To verify whether a provider accepts Kaiser Permanente plans, contact the provider directly. Current provider information is available at kp.org/locations. This information is updated within 72 business hours of receipt from providers. Kaiser Permanente of Colorado attempts to ensure the online directory contains up-to-date information. However, providers are responsible for notifying kp.org of any changes to their information, and untimely communication may result in outdated provider information appearing on the website. The printed directory is current as of the date of publication. Kaiser Permanente is not responsible for use of outdated directories.
Kaiser Permanente considers the following factors/criteria as it builds and maintains provider networks:
- Size and demographics of the population to be served;
- The inventory of provider types required to serve the population and using practitioner to member ratios and geographic access standards metrics to ensure adequacy;
- Application of rigorous credentialing criteria encompassing but not limited to educational training, licensing, professional experience, board certification, and professional references.
Kaiser Permanente uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business.
Information about a practitioner is provided to us by the practitioner or the practitioner's network, or is obtained as part of the credentialing process. An authorization or referral may be required to access some providers in this directory. If you have questions, contact Member Services.

Referrals to affiliated/contracted physicians/providers in Denver/Boulder
Affiliated/contracted physicians/providers are not part of the Colorado Permanente Medical Group (CPMG). They are physicians/providers who have a contract with the CPMG.
If your CPMG physician decides that you require covered services not available internally from CPMG, he or she will refer you to an affiliated/contracted physician/provider.
You must have a written referral to the affiliated/contracted physician/provider in order for Kaiser Permanente Colorado to cover the services. A referral is a written authorization from Kaiser Permanente for you to receive a covered service from an affiliated/contracted physician/provider.
