I was lucky enough to be born and raised right here inOwensboro, Kentuckyto a family that stressed the value of hard work and treating people the way I would want to be treated. My father exposed me to dentistry at an early age as he has maintained a privatedental practice in Owensborosince 1979 over in the Veach Road Medical Complex. I began working in his office during the summers when I was in middle school. Whether it was cleaning rooms, cleaning instruments, or just watching and learning, I was quickly drawn to the profession and knew it was what I wanted to do.
I attended the University of Kentucky for both my undergraduate degree and my dental degree and loved all 8 years that I spent there. I am still a huge Wildcats fan and love watching the teams play! After college, I moved down to San Antonio, Texas to pursue a residency at the Audie L. Murphy Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital. It was here that I was exposed to many of the newest and most advanced technologies that are currently available in the dental world. I greatly expanded my skills by learning many different techniques, such as the placement of conventionaldental implantsand completing many full mouth rehabilitations. Though only in Texas for a year, my love of the state is second to only Kentucky and still shines through by my love of country music, propensity to wear cowboy boots, and devotion to Mexican food! I spent the year after Texas working for a dental company in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area and was able to greatly expand my experiences.
