I always dreamed of being a dentist. My father is a dentist, and growing up, I loved to see how patients appreciated him and thanked him for the care he provided. After seeing that, I realized how important it was to help people, especially those who were afraid of the dentist, by working together to meet their oral health goals. I love the interactions I have with each patient I meet. It is so rewarding to hear their thanks for providing them with excellent dental care.I currently live in Orange County with my wife, Jessica, our seven year old daughter and our three year old son. My leisure time is spent playing soccer and football, flying, and traveling. I am also active in my community, helping exchange students, creating programs to help those in need, and donating dental services to those less fortunate.
