Why did you choose to go into orthodontics?
"I was interested in orthodontics because I had braces myself as a young kid and saw the impact it made on my life that I wanted to be able to impact others this way. My family is the most important thing to me (after my relationship with Jesus) and I think of my team as an extension of my family. I always approach taking care of the patients we are blessed to help as if they were my own family as well. I love what I do and would pick this all over again."
How long have you been practicing?
- Since 1992 (33 years)
Relating to Patients
"I am very blessed to work in a field that helps me to make a positive difference in the lives of the people I meet. I truly enjoy going to work every day and meeting so many different, unique people who all have something special to share. It is wonderful to make patients feel like they’re a part of our family and see the joy on their faces when they see their new smile."
How do you spend your time outside of the office?
"My first priority is my family. I am blessed to have my wife Karen by my side in raising our three wonderful kids, Alyssa, Kylie and Bo. We are also blessed to have two amazing sons-in-law and a granddaughter, with whom we love spending time."
"I am an active community member of Christ Church of NW Arkansas. I am also involved in our local church, singing in the worship team."
