I have been an angel investor having co-founded NeuroSpine Ventures with Andy Rock approximately 20 years ago. We are now integrating with Blackpoint CapitaI and I now serve as an analyst/advisor. I am still actively investing in and providing mentoring for early stage companies.
Until my retirement, I was a board certified orthopaedic and spine surgeon.

My practice included all types of spinal problems with a focus on not only surgical solutions but also the development of the best strategy for treating a persons problems at this time. No single solution can possibly be the answer for everyone and your solution needs to be unique. Lumbar and cervical reconstruction for degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, spinal stenosis, myelopathy, tumors, and or developmental disorders can be treated with non-surgical techniques, as well as using anterior and posterior approaches

I have a great interest interest in the use of the anterior approach to many cervical and lumbar problems. I have performed many surgeries using zero profile cervical devices implanting over 400 devices since 2010.

I am also passionate about the current and future role of regenerative technologies in the treatment of spinal disorders. Including for example stem cells, PRP, BMAC, exosomes, shockwave.
