Dentistry is a way for me to improve the lives of others. I love helping people improve their smile, health, and outlook on what dentistry can do for them.
I grew up in Grand Forks and returned after completing dental school. Grand Forks was a wonderful place to grow up, and I love being able to care for the community that has given me so much.
It's been great to return to Grand Forks and work with my family. We have an incredible team that is focused on intentional, personalized care for each person that comes through the door. We focus on staying positive and hope to be a bright spot in everyone's day, regardless of what brings them to our office.
Beyond the Office
When not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Karlie, and my family. We love watching and attending UND sports, spending time outdoors, and returning to Milwaukee when we can. We have two young sons and enjoy watching them grow.
Education
I obtained my Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Marquette University School of Dentistry in Milwaukee, WI. Continuing education is a huge component of staying up to date with the latest techniques and technology in dentistry, and I strive to provide the best care possible to our patients.
I am involved with several study clubs in our area and have focused on continuing education through the LD Pankey Institute. The LD Pankey Institute teaches advanced dental education focused on patient-centered care, function, and aesthetic dentistry. Recently, I was invited to be a faculty assistant and help teach other dentists the patient-centered philosophy that the Pankey Institute focuses on.
