Continuing Education:
I strive to attend advanced hands-on study clubs every year to maintain and expand my skills with equally motivated peers.
Personal:
Born in Southern California, I have lived most my life in Oregon, growing up in the outskirts of Portland. In 1995 I moved to the Southern Oregon coast and started my practice in Bandon (from scratch!) in 1996.
When I am not in the office with patients or doing paperwork, I enjoy surfing, bike riding or hiking. I also enjoy low-key activities like walking on the beach, reading, and relaxing at home. The casual lifestyle available in our beautiful area suits me well.
What I like best about being a dentist:
I was attracted to the field of Dentistry because health is a top priority to me, and a beautiful smile has always been my favorite feature. I love to coordinate working my hands and mind at the same time. And I love to help patients attain better health, function, and appearance through quality dental care.
