Growing up I knew I wanted to do something in healthcare due to my father's career as a Podiatrist. I always noticed a person's smile first and I enjoyed working with my hands, cosmetic and general dentistry, and problem-solving, so Dentistry was a great fit for me. As the owner of Deschutes Dental Center, I believe in treating patients in a kind and respectful way in order to create the healthy, confident smile they deserve. I am constantly striving to provide the highest standard of care I can to achieve predictable and long-lasting results.
As a native of Iowa, I attended the University of Iowa's College of Dentistry and graduated in 2011. My wife and I moved to Oregon after graduation and have called Bend home since 2013. Since graduation, I have continued my education by pursuing high-quality education such as the world-renown Kois Center in Seattle, WA. This rigorous curriculum not only focuses on how to fix an issue but also on why there is a dental problem. By focusing on the why, it is possible to create more predictable and longer-lasting care for my patients. Outside of the office, I enjoy hiking with my wife Emina and our two golden doodles. I also enjoy golfing, cycling, and running around the immense number of beautiful areas of Bend that we get to call home
