I am a distinguished professor and chair of the Department of Pathology at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, where I hold the Ralph W. and Helen Kurtz Endowed Chair in Pathology. I also serve as director of the GI/Liver Pathology Fellowship. I graduated from medical school at the University of Michigan in 1988 and trained in surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania from 1988-93. I then trained in anatomic and clinical pathology at the University of California at San Diego and did my surgical pathology fellowship at UC San Francisco from 1993-97. I have been a faculty member at Ohio State since 1997
