He is active in the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), serving on the Section of Neurology Board and relishes the opportunity speaking annually at the AAP National Conference Exhibition on the topic of headache. He is fundamentally a clinician-educator and is happiest in the clinic with a medical student on one hip and a resident on the other. His interest in headache began about 25 years ago and has been supported and encouraged by the incomparable, and ever young, Dr David Rothner from the Cleveland Clinic.
