What I enjoy most about dentistry is the ability to alter a person’s life quite dramatically. Impacting a smile creates such a positive change in a person. I have had patients tell me “they just can’t stop smiling now.” I chose dentistry because I wanted to work with my hands in a positive way. I wanted to fix what was broken and create new when the original just wasn’t working any more.
Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my family. Watching my children participate in sports is a favorite of mine. The pure joy they have when they make a great play is incredible to watch. Outdoor activities occupy most of my free time. Caring for the yard, garden, and house gives me a great sense of satisfaction that hard work pays off in the end. I also enjoy time at the lake fishing, swimming, or just boating.
