I feel fortunate that I am passionate about my profession and I look forward to going to work each day. I love to help people on their journey to optimal oral health. Ultimately it is each individual's decision as to what their goals are, but I am here to diagnose and suggest the best options to accomplish those goals. It is my goal to make each of my patients feel comfortable and at home in our practice.

Education

I attended Brigham Young University and earned a bachelor of science degree in Zoology. I then went on to Case Western Reserve University School of Dentistry where I obtained my doctor of dental surgery degree.

Continuing Education

Continuing education is the fuel that keeps me motivated to provide the best care in the most efficient and painless way possible. It enables me to stay abreast of the new techniques and technology that change at a more rapid pace every year. Continuing education is a passion of mine that will never cease.

In the Community

I've participated as a Scoutmaster for several years and feel privileged to be able to sponsor multiple sports teams in soccer, softball, and baseball. We also support the Washougal Schools Foundation annual Stride, 5k fun runs. I visit classes at local elementary schools to educate children about oral hygiene.

Outside the Office

I reside in Washougal with my wife of 18 years, Adina, and our four wonderful children, Isaac, Taylor, Parker, and Morgan. I am an avid marathon runner and have completed Hood to Coast and other long distance relays. I have just begun biking and hope to be able to compete in triathlons. I enjoy water and snow skiing, as well as camping, but family time is my priority.
