He obtained his medical degree from SIU School of Medicine and then completed his neurosurgery residency at SIU. During residency he developed an interest in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease, and this led to him completing a fellowship in Cerebrovascular, Endovascular, and Skull Base Neurosurgery at Mayo Clinic. His clinical interests include the open and endovascular treatment of aneurysms and AVMs, dural arteriovenous fistulas, acute stroke intervention, and the treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the brain and skull base.
