Dr. Jimmy grew up in Southern Illinois and completed his undergraduate studies at Southeast Missouri State University. Before his dental education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry, he and his wife Maggie lived in Brazil for 5 years serving with a college ministry. With a continued desire to not only care for others, but to also create and restore with his hands, he decided dentistry was a perfect fit. After dental school Dr. Jimmy, his wife, and four children moved to Lafayette, Indiana, to be closer to family and to be an active part in the diverse Greater Lafayette community as a dentist.
Dr. Jimmy loves to take the time needed to be an advocate for a persons overall health. This can take place anywhere from a childs first dental visit to listening to an adults questions concerning the need for complex restorative dental treatment. He enjoys a team approach to dentistry where care, openness, and trust help effectively provide the patient with the best experience.
Committed to lifelong education as a medical professional, Dr. Jimmys involvement with Spear Education and the local Spear Innovative Study Club allows him to stay on the cutting edge of dentistry and to effectively collaborate with other medical and dental specialists. He is also a member of the American Dental Association, Indiana Dental Association, and West Central Dental Society.
In his free time, Dr. Jimmy is an avid fisherman, a passion he has passed on to his daughters. His whole family enjoys trips down Wildcat Creek, March Madness, bike rides, and spending time with neighbors and their local homeschooling and church community.
I graduated from Ivy Tech in 2014 and have been pursuing the dental field ever since. The part I love most about my job is building the everlasting relationship with the patients. I am happily married with two amazing children. In my free time, I enjoy reading, crafting, and spending time with my family.
I attended Ivy Tech and graduated in 2020 with my expanded functions certification. I love the relationships I establish with our patients at Downtown Dental. I am the youngest of four and love spending time with my family. Outside the office, I enjoy running, cycling, and baking. I also love to travel and rock climb at climbing gyms.
I recently moved from Huntsville, Alabama where I worked as a Pediatric Dental Assistant. My favorite part about my job is helping people achieve their goals and be confident in their smile! I love the relationships I have formed with our patients and their families. Most of my free time is spent at Alexander Field, watching my boyfriend play baseball for Purdue. If I am not at the baseball field, I am cuddling with my sweet dog Charlie.
I received my dental hygiene license from the Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2010. Throughout my career, I have developed strong relationships with our patients as I promotes beautiful smiles. My passion for each patients health journey is what drives me to deliver the best care in all situations. My husband and three children provide extra incentive as I strive to be my best. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my extended family, friends and church group and traveling to national and international locations with a fondness of challenging hiking trails and lazy beaches.
