I'm a valedictorian graduate of Utah Valley University in 2002, and from University of Lowa College of Dentistry in 2006 where my research into the treatment of oral yeast infections in HIV patients was published.I then served in the U.S. Army where I was a dental captain and was awarded the Army Commendation Medal. I opened a dental practice in Tennessee and was voted the best dentist in town by residents after only one year in business, and again every year thereafter until I relocated to Utah Valley in 2013 with my family.I was very grateful that my Salem Smiles office was selected as the best dental practice in Utah County in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. This practice was sold at the end of 2018 as I decided to relocate my practice to Lehi. My expertise, research contributions, and friendly personality led me to be named one of the top 40 dentists under 40 nationally by Incisal Edge magazine, a publication for dentists.Some fun facts about me:My 6 children are my hobbies and interests. I always and love to spend time with my family when I'm away from work.
