I truly love to see the transformation that my patients go through when progressing with orthodontics. I enjoy seeing the changes orthodontic treatment can make in a patient's life, not just in his or her appearance but also in his or her confidence and self-image. I strive to provide these great smiles in a fun, enthusiastic and caring environment. I take pride in my work. I do my absolute best to treat every case with delicate care and individualism for true excellence. I love my profession and look forward to working with our great patients every day.

Education

I attended the University of Colorado and the University of Minnesota for my undergraduate education and stayed on at the University of Minnesota for both my Doctorate of Dental Surgery and Certificate in Orthodontics.

I attend local and national continuing education courses and study clubs regularly and feel it is of great importance to stay abreast of current knowledge in the field and stay in touch with multi-disciplinary specialists in order to serve my patients in the best possible way. I have published articles on four occasions and have been a speaker on current techniques in orthodontics for continuing education courses.

In the Community

For the past two years I have participated in Smiles Change Lives, a program providing braces to children in low-income families.

Outside the Office

I am a native of Saint Cloud and now reside in Minneapolis with my wife, Sophie, and our two sons, Oliver and Thomas. I enjoy spending time with my family, fly fishing in Minnesota and Wisconsin, playing tennis and squash, traveling, and hiking. Since Sophie is French, we are raising our boys to be bilingual and I’m doing my best to learn French as well!
