I went to undergraduate, medical school and completed general surgery training all at the University of Minnesota. It was a great time for the Univ. and the Medical School and I received a great education. I than went to Boston Children's Hospital for pediatric surgery training. I embarked on a combined clinical and academic career in pediatric surgery. I have been fortunate to have been appointed as the chief of pediatric surgery at several universities and children's hospitals and currently, I am the Surgeon-in-Chief and Chief of Pediatric Surgery at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. I have also had the honor of being president of two major pediatric surgery associations and currently hold leadership positions in major national academic
surgery associations including being the chairman of the Pediatric Surgery Board of the American Board of Surgery and a Regent of the American College of Surgeons. Currently,I am the vice chairman of the American College of Surgeons Board of Regents and semiretired from clinical practice as a pediatric surgeon.
