My passion for dentistry began as I joined the United States Army Reserves as a dental assistant. From those early days until now I still get excited to learn and develop my talents and skills. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma school of dentistry in 2006, and I continue my education by completing a rigorous residency in advanced education and general dentistry. Since then it has only gotten better and better. The more I learn the more exciting Dentistry becomes. Of all the things I have learned, the key to enjoying dentistry is the relationships that are created with each patient and with the most wonderful staff. We absolutely have the best patients in the world and the best staff in the world!
When I am away from the office, I am generally home with my beautiful family. My lovely wife Emily and our five children. Preston, Wyatt, Emma, Zane , and Ava. Our family enjoys going on walks, riding bikes, playing soccer and being together playing games. Emily and I continue to grow closer as the years tick by. We spend most of our time keeping up with our kids and whatever they are involved in.

I was born and raised in Tucson, AZ. I attended Brigham Young University where I received a degree in public health. I then attended The Ohio State University where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery. After working in a small town in Montana for a year, I returned home to Tucson. I have been married to my wife Alyssa since 2014 and we have two amazing little girls. If free time is to be found, I enjoy running, cycling, playing soccer and enjoying the great outdoors.
