Biography:
I was born in the UK, Liverpool, went to school and University in Germany. I attended the Humboldt University in Berlin and was a Surgeon in the German Military. After leaving the Military I spent 4 yrs progressing my surgical skills from a General Surgeon to Trauma Surgeon and at the end to Orthopedic Surgeon. In 2012 I left Germany to return to the UK for the hip Fellowship with Professor Middleton, I added another Fellowship in Bournemouth and was then appointed as Locum Consultant until I left for New Zealand for a Consultant post where I live today.
Comments on time as Prof Middleton (ORI) Fellow:
Excellent teacher with metronomic operating skills. Teaches also very valuable skills for position as Consultant beyond the hip skills.
