A bio with a twistcredentials of course, but more personal information for a personal touch. My wifes name is Anne. We have three children: Olivia (born 2007), Jonathan (born 2009), and Katherine (born 2011).

I attended the University of Tennessee-Memphis for Dental School where I graduated in the top 10% of my class. To round out my SEC schools, I attended my orthodontic residency at the Vanderbilt Orthodontic Center where I served as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Orthodontics.

I initially opened my orthodontic office in Brentwood in October of 2001. I currently practice in Brentwood, off Moores Lane, and in Belle Meade across from Kroger. Our practices have the distinction of being on the top list of Invisalign providers in Tennessee.

I am originally from Paducah, KY, also proudly known as the quilt capital of the world for you quilters out there. I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Biology from the University of Kentucky where I stayed to earn my dental degree at the UK College of Dentistry. After dental school, I completed my post-graduate orthodontic training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as an Andrew McArthur Brooks Fellow where I received my certificate in Orthodontics and a Masters of Science degree. I bleed UK Blue with a hint of Tar Heel Blue. March Madness is my favorite time of year!

After graduation, I voluntarily completed the American Board of Orthodontics certification process to become a board-certified orthodontist, a distinction attained by only 30% of orthodontists nationwide.

My husband, James, and I have a son, Brooks, and baby daughter, Marcie. We are thrilled to have moved to Nolensville and look forward to becoming a part of this wonderful community. Outside of the office, I primarily enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. My family enjoy traveling, spending time at Kentucky Lake and Smith Lake during the summer, hiking, and cheering for the UK Wildcats!

I grew up in the small town of Camden, Arkansas. While most of my summers were spent riding four wheelers in the mud and going camping, I also traveled a lot with my family and developed adesire to see the world.

With my father being an oral surgeon and aninfluential figure in my life, I knew early on I wanted to go into dentistry as a career. After attending college in another small town at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, I ventured out to a bigger city for dental school. I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from the University Of Tennessee College Of Dentistry in Memphis, TN. While in Memphis, I developed an interest and passion for orthodontics.

I completed a 3 year Orthodontic program at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I received a certificate in Orthodontics and a Masters of Science in Dentistry.

My fianc, Danny, is also in the dental field and works as an endodontist in Belle Meade. We recently moved to Nashville and are enjoying exploring our new neighborhood. We have a fluffy, flat faced cat named Gouda that keeps us laughing and covered in white fur!

In my free time I love trying new restaurants, spending time with my niece and family, reading comic books, watching reality TV, and traveling. Send your honeymoon destination recommendations our way!

I moved to Lexington to attend the University of Kentucky, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a minor in biology. Although I love my Kentucky Wildcats, I chose to attend the University of Louisville for dental school.

After graduating, I moved to East Nashville with my husband and two dogs and practiced as a general dentist for three years. During that time, I gained a new appreciation for orthodontics and aspired to become a specialist.

I was raised in Bardstown, KY, a small town known for its numerous bourbon distilleries. I grew up doing gymnastics and was awarded a full athletic scholarship to Auburn University (unfortunately, I tore my ACL on ESPN my junior year). While attending Auburn, I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Biomedical Science and competed on the Varsity Gymnastics Team.

After undergrad, I attended dental school at the University of Louisville and graduated top of my class, obtaining a Doctorate Degree in Dental Medicine. After spending time shadowing in the orthodontic clinic, I decided to dedicate myself entirely to the specialty of orthodontics, completing an additional two years of orthodontic training while serving as the class president of the residency program at the University of Louisville.

My husband, Chris, and I met in 2010 and had a long-distance relationship until we got married in 2015 and I moved to Nashville to be with him. My greatest accomplishment is being a mommy to my three little blessings: Brooks (born in 2017), Marielle (born in 2018), and Lillian (born in 2020). I love spending time with them and watching them grow and learn.

I was born and raised in Charleston, WV. Fun fact, I grew up on the same street as actress Jennifer Garner. Growing up, I loved playing sports and doing anything outside. I come from a huge family of rabid Steelers fans and am not shy about it, sorry Titans fans.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry at West Virginia University Go Mountaineers! During college, I tutored students in chemistry, became a certified service dog trainer, and dabbled in floral design.

After college, I stayed at WVU to get my DDS. During dental school, I developed a love for orthodontics after shadowing in the ortho clinic at the school and at private practices. My passion for it led me to the University of Louisville, where I completed my orthodontics residency.
