I love my job.  I got into dentistry because I love the variety.  Every day I meet new and interesting people.  Whether it’s an interesting conversation, or an interesting procedure to make your teeth healthy or improve your smile, I try to treat everyone as an individual.  I take a lot of pride in my work and I hope I can be of service to you some day as your family dentist.

When not in the office, I try to stay as active as possible. I have played hockey most of my life and continue to play almost every week of the year.  I also enjoy playing golf (poorly) and have recently re-taken up tennis after a 20 year hiatus.

I grew up in Minneapolis and attended high school at Minneapolis Southwest.  I haven’t ventured far from my roots and still live in the Uptown area.  I did leave Minneapolis for college and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology with a minor in Business from Colorado College and the University of St. Thomas, graduating with honors in 1998.  Before dental school, I worked as an EMT, and then in the pharmaceutical industry for about 3 years.  I graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 2005.

I am a strong advocate for advanced dental training, and am constantly expanding my knowledge and skills through an extensive amount of ongoing continuing education.  I am a proud member of multiple local and national dental associations.
