I enjoy being outside. My wife and I bicycle and hike, and we take our dog Mollie with us as much as we can. I grew up on the west coast, and moved east for dental school at Georgetown. I've lived in big cities, and now live in small town - I  enjoy both. Friends are important.

I've done enough and seen enough dentistry to know what it is to help people be healthy. A significant component of that is understanding that achieving health is a process that doesn't happen overnight. That process frequently involves helping people see what is possible, and doing that comfortably with their best interests at heart. No judgement, understanding causes, presenting options, supporting choices are what I'm good at.
