Education and Continuing Education
My formal education gave me a great foundation of knowledge on which I’ve built my practice. I earned my undergraduate degree at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and continued on to dental school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Before opening my private practice, I spent a year working as a dentist on an Indian Reservation in the upper peninsula of Michigan through the Indian Health Service. This hands-on experience was invaluable to the development of my personal and professional philosophy of patient-first care.

I am actively involved in continuing education as a member of the Seattle Study Club and Spear Study Club with other local dentists and specialists. I am most excited about the advancements dentistry seems to make on a daily basis. From implants to lasers, the treatments options are evolving and better standards are the result. In turn, this means better, longer-lasting, and more comfortable dental treatments for my patients.

Outside the Office
Born and raised in the Copley/Fairlawn area, I am excited to live and practice in the wonderful community in which I grew up. I recently married my wife, Kristen, a Wadsworth native, in 2013. I am excited to become very active in the Copley Community. Having been born and raised in Copley and graduating from Copley High School, I feel it is important to give back to the community which allowed me to have such a wonderful upbringing.

In my free time, I enjoy playing golf and hiking with my wife. Like any good Ohioan, I am also passionate about sports and an avid supporter of the Cleveland Browns and Cavaliers!
