Yes and no. I grew up around dentistry and even spent summers working at local dental labs. I have always enjoyed dentistry but I wanted to find something that would let me work with my hands and create things while also serving other people. All paths kept leading me back to dentistry and I finally saw that dentistry is my perfect fit.

Obviously I love the clinical side and the details of dentistry, but the most important and rewarding part is interacting with patients. Its a pretty cool transformation to see someone who may be nervous and guarded about going to the dentist and then help them feel comfortable and confident about their smile.

I love being a dad! It is so rewarding to watch them learn and grow through each stage. There never seems to be a dull moment when you have kids. We spend a lot of time outdoors, playing sports, and we love going to the lake.

I have so much respect for my parents. I admire my mother for the strength she has to do whats right, she will do anything for her friends and family. I admire my father for the way he treats other people, he is so approachable and understanding.
