I was raised in Portland, Oregon. It was during my early years in the Health Occupations program at Benson High School that I discovered my passion for caring for people, science, health, and human biology. During my studies at Oregon State University, I worked at O’Brien’s Dental Laboratory where I found my true calling for my future career. After graduating from Oregon State University, I received my Doctorate of Dentistry degree from Tufts University in Boston. Upon graduating from Tufts in 2003, I moved back to my beloved city, Portland, Oregon.
I truly enjoy being a dentist. I love taking the time to build personal relationships with my patients which allows me to cater dental care to individual patient’s needs. I practice with integrity and genuine care for all of my patients. My gentle touch, attention to detail, and commitment to the quality of care are my top priorities.
I have a well-balanced life outside of work. With my lovely wife Catie, we share various interests including running marathons, cycling, basketball, and spending time outdoors. My wife and I are huge Blazers fans and enjoy spending our free time exploring Oregon.
