After growing up in Philadelphia, PA I attended Duke University in North Carolina. In 1978 after graduation from college I moved to Tucson, AZ. I obtained a Master's degree in nutritional sciences from the University of Arizona in 1982.
My medical degree, also from the U of A, was completed in 1986.

I remained in Tucson during my internship and residency training in anesthesiology. Following my final year of training I joined the University of Arizona's Department of Anesthesiology Faculty as a Clinical Assistant Professor. I was certified as a Diplomate of the America Board of Anesthesiology in 1991. During graduate school, medical school, residency training, and as a faculty member I performed research in the areas of Cardiovascular Biochemistry and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation resulting in several publications.

I left the academic world and joined Old Pueblo Anesthesia In October 1991 to begin my career in private practice. I continue to hold the title "Lecturer, Clinical Anesthesiology" at the University of Arizona. My interest and involvement in academics is continued by having medical students, interns, residents, respiratory therapists and paramedic students rotate with me to learn about the practice of anesthesia. My practice of anesthesia includes all areas except obstetrical and chronic pain services. I have a primary interest in pediatric anesthesia.

I am married to Diane Neddenriep, M.D. a pediatric pulmonologist with Pediatric Pulmonary Associates. We have two children and a menagerie of pets. When not working I enjoy spending time with my family and my recreational interests including horseback riding, snow skiing, mountain biking, and the joys of home maintenance.
