Outside of dentistry, I am a very active sports official, serving as a Baseball & Softball Umpire. I work everything from Little League to Club & High School BB & SB, and College Softball. It is a true passion of mine!

Personal Statement

I treat the WHOLE patient and tailor the education process of the patient to help them make the best decision for their individual oral health objectives. We have to help and empower the patient to choose the best treatment course by taking ownership of the realities of their Oral Health. We want them to have all the information available to make the right choice for the oral and overall heath.
