I truly love practicing orthodontics, I am grateful to God, and humbled by the opportunity to have a positiveeffect on the lives of my patients. My passion for orthodontics grew out of my own personal experience with orthodontic care as a teenager. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know my patients. I understand that foralmost all of them, receiving orthodontic treatment is a positive, life-changing experience, and I look forward to helping my patients celebrate their everyday lives with beautiful, healthy smiles.
I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I earned my undergraduate degree and Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Following dental school, I served as an officer in the United States Army Dental Corp for 13 years. During that time, I received my certificate of orthodontics and masters degree in oral biology from the University of Louisville. I also served in the North Carolina National Guard for nine years and retired at the rank of Colonel in 2005. Ive been practicing in the Piedmont Triad for 22years.
To stay uptodate with the latest treatments and techniques in orthodontics, I regularly participate in continuing education opportunities. Each year, I complete far more than the minimum amount of credits in a variety of different courses, including SureSmile training and Foundation of Craniofacial Education seminars.
I am a board-certified orthodontist, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, and an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists. In addition, I maintain memberships with the following organizations:
I strive to put God first,live my life to the fullest and treat others as a priority and not an option. Tohave an Attitude of Gratitude. I enjoy being outdoors, biking, hiking and spending time with great friends. I surround myself with people who bring out the best in me and create a meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling lifeand always try tomake a positiveimpact on the lives of others.
