Austin began his medical career as a Radiologic Technologist before transitioning to MRI technology. His passion for patient care ultimately led him to pursue a Physician Assistant (PA) role, where he discovered his calling in dermatology. He earned his undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and later completed his Master of Physician Assistant Studies at the University of North Dakota. Having had eczema in his teenage years and psoriasis as an adult, Austin deeply understands the transformative impact dermatological care can have. His own experiences with skin conditions have inspired him to help patients achieve both physical relief and emotional well-being through improved skin health. Austin enjoys spending time with his two daughters and his two Boxer dogs outside of work. He’s also an avid skier in the winter and enjoys golfing in the summer, though he notes that he is still perfecting his swing! Austin is licensed through the Minnesota Medical Board and sees patients at our Roseville and Monticello locations.
