I enjoy watching sports and support the Detroit Red Wings and Lions, and more recently the All Blacks. My partner and I like to hike, golf, geocache and compete at bar trivia together.

I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and love providing patient education. I personally did not like going to the dentist growing up and strive to make a positive experience for all of my patients.
