I was born, raised and chose to live in Stark County. I graduated from Tuslaw High School in 1990 with honors, Walsh University in 1994 Summa Cum Laude and The Ohio State University College of Dentistry in 1998. I came home to marry my incredible wife, Dawn, after much persuasion! We currently have 2 teenagers, so pray for us!
I trained with Dr. Victor Sendax, creator of the mini dental implant, in 2004 to help the denture patients we see live a better quality of life. I became an Invisalign certified provider in 2007 to help our adult patients regain that perfect smile of their youth. Dental implants are next on my “to do” list to replace the teeth we may have taken for granted.
I have been practicing here for 20 years and currently hold membership with the American Dental Assn., the Ohio Dental Assn., and Stark County Dental Society. I have been named to Who’s Who Among Dentists and America’s Top Dentists. I also served on the Phoenix Rising Board of Trustees and Walsh Alumni Board of Trustees. I served as adjunct faculty at the Stark State Dental Hygiene Clinic for 6 years. I am a proud member of the 22nd Class of Leadership Stark County. I currently serve as a member of the Stark State Allied Dental Health advisory board. I try to support every local organization and fundraiser possible for our great community!
I love the time that I have with my family and love what I do. Nobody loves going to the dentist, but we are all family. I have been blessed to have a great team to help me care for you and your family. See you soon!
