WELCOME to my practice! A little about me: In junior high, after spending time with my uncle, Dr. Jay Kriss, DDS, I decided I wanted to become a dentist. Until leaving home to attend University of Kansas, I worked on the family farm in western Kansas. While I truly enjoyed my farming experience, my artistic side and love of biology again led me to dentistry, which, strangely, has proven to be a great mixture of both. Following KU, I went to the University of Nebraska Dental School in Lincoln and bought my practice in Emporia after graduating. I enjoy playing the guitar and surfing, among other things. I am fortunate to be married to the best friend I've ever had, Michelle. We have three wonderful children, Tayler, Tessa and Emary. I look forward to providing you with the best dental experience possible!
