I was born and raised in Michigan and attended Johns Hopkins University for my undergraduate studies in Public Health. I then went on to pursue my Masters in Public Health at New York University and returned to Baltimore for dental school at University of Maryland. I decided to receive additional training and returned to Johns Hopkins Hospital for my General Practice Residency. After that, I practiced in the Northern Virginia/DC area before moving to our forever home in Frisco with my wife.

From a very young age, my family taught me the importance of treating people the way I want to be treated. I’ve carried this mentality with me into my career in dentistry which led to great satisfaction when being able to help people restore their health and smile. My initial love for dentistry began on mission trips to poverty stricken populations to provide free dental care to those who do not have access and resources to obtain healthcare. The amount of satisfaction and happiness seeing the joy on these patients’ faces when we were able to get them out of pain and restore their smile was indescribable.
