Changing Lives, One Person and One Smile at a Time
I feel incredibly fortunate to be an orthodontist—it’s truly a dream come true. I’m a third-generation dentist and the sixth in my family, so dentistry has always been a big part of my life. My dad, now a retired orthodontist, has been one of my greatest role models. As a kid, I spent time shadowing him and saw firsthand how much joy and fulfillment he found in helping people. Seeing how meaningful his work was to him inspired me early on, and over the years, that inspiration grew into a deep passion of my own.

Beyond the Office
I’m married to my best friend, Nicole, and together we have two wonderful kids, Abigail and Cameron. Our family wouldn’t be complete without our two rescue dogs, Bella and Toby. Outside of work, I love staying active—whether it’s playing tennis, working out, or attempting to golf. I also enjoy listening to live music and cheering on my favorite teams at sporting events whenever I get the chance.
In the Community
I feel incredibly fortunate to live and practice in Sheboygan County—it's a truly special place. I'm passionate about giving back and doing my part to help make our community healthier, stronger, and more connected. Supporting local schools, sports teams, theater, music, and other organizations is something I care deeply about. Click here to see some of the amazing groups we've been proud to support over the past few years.
A fun fact about me: I was part of Kids from Wisconsin during the 2010 and 2011 seasons, and I still make it a point to support them each year when they perform in Sheboygan County. If you’ve never been to one of their shows, I highly recommend it—you’re in for a treat!
I also enjoy sharing what I’ve learned through lecturing for American Orthodontics, and give talks each year across the U.S. and Canada. Click here to learn more.
