I was born and raised in the countryside of Idaho Falls, Idaho. After graduating high school, I served as a missionary for two years in Chile. I loved every minute of this life changing experience. Upon returning, I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University. I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of California, Los Angeles. While at UCLA, I was honored with the OKU Kramer Award, the highest award given at each dental school. I then received a Masters of Science in Dentistry (MSD) and certificate in orthodontics from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.

I am currently serving as a Captain in the Army National Guard. I am truly honored to be serving our country in support of our troops.

Personal Life

Outside of the office, I enjoy many hobbies including sports, triathlons, and the outdoors. However, the thing I enjoy most is spending time with my wife (born and raised in Houston) and two beautiful daughters.
