I was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin. Prior to becoming a dentist I began my career as a Registered Nurse in Kenosha, Wisconsin. My primary role was working with post operative and geriatric patients. Then I attended and received my dental degree at Roseman University in South Jordan, Utah. My wife, Rikka, and I now reside in Saukville, Wisconsin. We are avid hikers and love to visit Wisconsin’s state parks. Outside of dentistry, my passions are backpacking, going to the beach, and almost anything related to being outdoors.

You may ask why I chose dentistry. My grandfather owned his own dental lab and as a child I would watch my grandfather work in his lab making crowns, dentures and other dental restorative prosthetics. He is the one that taught me the importance of high-quality dentistry. My uncle is also a dentist. Through his guidance and care, I saw how compassionate care and continually educating yourself in the newest technology and techniques is the best way to give your patients the best experience possible.  All of these and my love for sculpting have led me to dentistry.
