I consider myself lucky to be able to say that without a doubt, I love what I do. Being a dentist isnt just about treating teeth and gums. Every day I have the privilege of meeting new people and helping them get healthy and stay healthy.
I was born in Tokyo and have lived all around the world including Africa and Australia. My family finally settled in Colorado in 1982. I graduated from Ponderosa High School in 1989 and spent four years in the U.S. Navy. Being in the navy gave me the opportunity to connect with many people fr om a variety unique backgrounds.
Following my navy days, I went back to school, earning my bachelors degree in Health Sciences and doctorate in Dental Surgery from the University of Colorado. I opened Castle Valley Dental in August of 2001, closely followed by opening Falcon Dental Care in 2004.
I consider myself to be a person who is always willing to try new things. I love to travel, camp, cycle, boat and try anything that involves my friends and family being together. I love spending time with people, but also enjoy time to myself reading and listening to great music.
I strive every day to help people live better by learning what it takes to have healthy teeth. We achieve this by understanding what is important to our patients and improving the way that they feel about themselves. There is no better feeling than seeing a patient feel confident about their smile.
