Personally, he is a proud father of a 21 year old son who is now in Dental School, following his parents footsteps in being a service to the community. Dannys (his son)personal story to the board of education was about a time where he really noticed how much service and help he can provide to a community by helping them with their oral care. I chose this path fore I saw the smiling faces and happy hearts from those, my parents helped.
