- I am a Board-Certified Urologist and Assistant Professor of Surgery at Washington University in St. Louis. I am fellowship-trained in urologic surgical oncology. I see patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Siteman Cancer Center and BJC West County and manage all urologic cancers in either a minimally-invasive/robotic or open approach as indicated. My research focuses on translational and clinical trials in bladder and upper tract urothelial cancer. I am a native Missourian raised on a family farm in the Bootheel.
