Austin King M.D., Treasurer
After my training in ENT at Baylor College of Medicine, I was encouraged by CoMeT member Van Lawrence to follow my interests in voice and establish my own voice lab which was very rare since fiberoptic laryngoscopy was just being introduced. This led to my becoming involved with Baylor when they first began Botox injections for spasmodic dysphonia. I then met member Jim Gould when presenting our research on wind instrumentalists and the larynx at the Voice Foundation and Nasser Kotby in Cairo when traveling with the Houston Grand
Opera. Both of them encouraged me to become a member of CoMeT.
My voice lab and I hosted CoMeT at a meeting in Santa Fe which led to me being elected president of CoMeT several years later. Since then I helped Dick Stasney host a meeting in Aspen and then again in Houston.
While president, I published the first history of CoMeT written by Dr, Perello and helped better organize the organization. I still run a voice lab in my home of Abilene, Texas and treat an assortment of singers from country and western to barber shop and am still intrigued and amazed at the human voice.
