He is a faculty physician in the Division of Urology at the Cedars-Sinai Surgery Department.

He earned his medical degree from the University of California, Davis. He completed a residency in urology at UCLA and a fellowship in urological oncology at Johns Hopkins. Before joining Cedars-Sinai, he was at Duke University, where he specialized in surgical oncology and urologic oncology, and served as an associate professor in the Division of Urology.
