Biography

I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and have spent a considerable number of years in Saskatchewan. I received my basic university, medical and radiologic education in Saskatoon with two separate training experiences in Edmonton, as a Rotating Intern, and Ottawa, as an Angiography/Interventional Radiology Fellow.
My family and I have called Saskatoon home now for 20 years. We have three children. We enjoy adventures with our travel trailer and time spent at the lake with family. We have enjoyed the undying support of family and our lives have been greatly enriched through time spent with our extended families in Saskatoon.

In my twenty years in the department I have experienced a wide variety of different roles including Program Director and Department Head. These have been very interesting personal and professional experiences to say the least. I am very proud of the contribution that I and my colleagues have made to the ongoing development of our clinical, teaching and research environment. I feel strongly that we will continue to see forward progress in these endeavors and I look forward to future clinical and academic success for our group.

Research Interests

My teaching and research interests lie in the realm of angiography/interventional imaging. However, I am currently involved in a variety of other research activities. Recently, I have developed an interest in the possibility of establishing a provincial teaching and research infrastructure based upon an expected development of a provincial PACS (picture archive and communication system). Through the generosity of the RUH Foundation we have acquired a substantial grant to facilitate in developing a solution to this challenge. I look forward to seeing progress on this front and in informatics related research and teaching.
