I was born and raised in Spokane, Washington and graduated from Gonzaga University. I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, then completed a 3-year residency in periodontics and implant surgery and an additional 2-year residency in endodontics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
I am a member of the American Dental Association, the American Association of Endodontists and the American Academy of Periodontology. I am a board-eligible Endodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology.
In addition, I have been actively involved in organized dentistry throughout my career. I have served as President of our local dental society as well as a Trustee to the Idaho State Dental Association. Currently, I serve as an Idaho Delegate to the American Dental Association. All of these roles help shape dental policy locally and nationally which ultimately preserves the dentist-patient relationship.
Outside the office, I appreciate all the Pacific Northwest offers, particularly golf, tennis, fly-fishing and watching Gonzaga basketball!
