I am very blessed to work in a field that helps me to make a positive difference in the lives of the people I meet. I truly enjoy going to work every day and meeting so many different, unique people who all have something special to share. It is wonderful to make patients feel like they're a part of our family and see the joy on their faces when they see their new smile for the first time.

I went to Oklahoma State University for my undergraduate degree, receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I then completed four years of dental school at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I completed a one year general practice residency at the Children's Hospital in Oklahoma City, OK. Ultimately, I received my Master of Science degree in Orthodontics after three years of study at the University of Missouri in Kansas City.

I exceed the minimum requirements for continuing education because I always want to improve the overall quality of experience for my patients, often resulting in shorter treatment time, less discomfort, and better results. I am also the director of the NWA Study Club, a division of the Seattle Study Club.

I had the honor of having been published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Identifiably Orthopedics and have spoken nationally about the use of SureSmile. I am an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Arkansas State Dental Association, the Northwest Arkansas Dental Association, and am Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics.

I have been married to my wonderful wife, Karen, for 24 years. We have three children, Alyssa, Kylie, and Bo, who we love spending time with. I am active in my community as a member of Grace Church of NW Arkansas and also participate in Lifesource, Bethany Christian Services, and Smile for a Lifetime.
