Growing up, my dad took a career that allowed us to live in many places. Our family had the opportunity to live in Virginia, New Jersey, Illinois, and Oklahoma. Our family also had the chance to live overseas, my birthplace in Germany. Eventually, we found our way to Fort Smith, Arkansas, where I graduated high school. While living in Fort Smith, I had the opportunity to work for a pediatric dentist who was very influential in my decision to pursue dentistry as a career. From there, I attended the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and earned a bachelor's degree in Microbiology. Determination and hard work eventually paid off, and I was accepted into the Doctorate program at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry.

After graduating from dental school in May of 2000, I practiced dentistry in Oklahoma City for almost nine years as an associate. But Arkansas was always in our minds, and in 2009 we decided to move back to the northwest Arkansas area to be closer to our family and friends and start my own business.

I have been married to my wife, Jennifer, since 1996. We are residents of a community Har-Ber Meadows; We have three daughters, Samantha, Sophia, and Charlotte, who constantly remind us of what life is all about. I enjoy spending time with his family, traveling, outdoor activities, and gardening with his wife; as I get older, I try to stay healthy with biking, strength training, and HIIT exercise.
