PERSONAL

I grew up in Gilbert, Arizona as the oldest child in a family of six. I loved being part of a larger family and all the excitement that it brought around the house. I grew up loving sports and was active in soccer, basketball, volleyball, track and snowboarding.

I also happen to be a technology geek and especially love products made by Apple. I met my wife, Jenn, through a unique story involving her twin sister and one of my best friends. They are now married as well and we all have a blast at all family events! We are blessed to have three sons, Blake, Kade, and Crew, whom we love to play with. When not working, we love to travel to the mountains and the lake for some snow and water sports.

INSPIRATION

Early on I gained an appreciation for the health sciences. Both my uncles are doctors and had a vital part in my inspiration. Through some minor cosmetic dental work done by my dentist, I realized what a powerful impact a healthy, confident smile can have on your life. I realized I wanted to give back to people in a way that helps them achieve a smile they are proud of. I love dentistry and believe in the power of a confident smile and in treating all patients as if they were my own family members.

EDUCATION

I began my education at Vanguard University in Southern California where I received a bachelors degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I was then accepted into Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona, where I received my Doctorate of Dental Medicine. I excelled in my clinical skill development at the top of my class and became especially interested in the area of CAD-CAM and cosmetic dentistry. Since graduation, I have furthered my clinical development through continuing education especially in the area of implants, sedation dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics and treating TMD.

PROFESSIONAL

Practicing dentistry has become one of my greatest passions. It is a career that I truly love, and it is a joy to come to work every day. My staff is amazing and is one of the biggest reasons our office is so successful in caring well for our patients. I am blessed to be an owner of multiple dental practices and have a wonderful professional relationship with my partner, Dr. Pope. We are constantly striving to make the dental experience more wonderful for each and every patient. It is our goal to provide the highest quality care one can receive in the dental environment. We want to create an office you are proud to be a part of!
