I am excited to come to work every day to provide care for what I consider to be the most magnificent of all creations the human body, and I am passionate about the fact that I get to do all of this on people I genuinely care for.
I first became interested in dentistry as a little boy, watching my father. I admired the love he had for dentistry. He was able to form long-term, caring relationships with his patients and make a positive impact on their overall health. Dentistry allowed him to care for people and, at the same time, use his hands in an artistic way. I, too, had a love of art and of using my hands in very detailed ways. Dentistry seemed the perfect fit.
Over the course of my 25+ years in the field, I have developed a deep sense of compassion for those I treat. I perform my work with the golden rule always as my guide; treating others as I would like to be treated. Likewise, I have learned so much from the personal stories of the many people I have encountered, and feel blessed to have formed relationships that go beyond dentistry.
Surrounding myself with dental professionals who share my approach is one of my top priorities. Each of my staff members brings something unique to the practice, and each is an invaluable asset to the team. Together, we are able to achieve our primary goal to provide a thorough, comfortable and pleasant experience for our patients.
I am a native of the Kansas City area. I now live in Leawood, KS, where I have resided for 15 years. My wife Jennifer and I have a daughter Kristen. In my free time, I enjoy landscaping, running, bicycling, history, and all things Jayhawk.
I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of those around me. Outside my practice, I enjoy being actively involved in my church; teaching Sunday School and participating in Bible studies. I also enjoy coaching youth sports.
