The dental profession has provided me with constant growth and stimulation. I feel especially blessed to have been led to dentistry as my calling. Dentistry allows me to touch my patients in an amazingly positive way. Restoring to people their ability to smile to eat, talk, and laugh with confidence is most gratifying. It is a privilege and an honor to work with my patients who trust me with their care. I'm in a constant state of appreciation for this wonderful gift.

My team is amazing! They are fun-loving and delightful, and at the same time they are empathetic and caring. We all love our patients and want to serve them in any way possible. When patients come into our office they immediately sense a special relationship between our team members. We have an eagerness to get to know our patients and welcome them into our family.

I attended the University of Kansas for my undergraduate degree and continued on to the University of Missouri at Kansas City where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Learning new skills and techniques and using the best materials allows me to offer my patients exceptional care and the highest level of service. I attend 150 to 200 hours of continuing education a year, most of which is hands-on, participatory experience.

I am a native of Kansas and have lived in Tulsa, OK for the past 37 years. My wife and life-long partner is Susie and we have two grown children, Kristen and Dane, and three grandchildren, twins Forrest and Zoe, and Kaelan. I love playing golf and in the fall, pheasant and quail hunting consumes much of my time. My English pointer, Hunter, is my wonderful hunting companion. Susie and I support the Signature Symphony of TCC and are also active with the Philbrook Museum of Art.
