Prior to attending an orthodontic residency, I completed a general dentistry residency. I than practiced for five years as a general dentist; I feel very comfortable working with your family dentist especially on more complicated, adult multidisciplinary treatment plans.

I received a degree in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin (Hook-em) and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS) from UT Health Science Center San Antonio. I also completed a Masters of Science and Certificate in Orthodontics from the UTHSC- Houston.

I am a decorated veteran of the USAF, a Texas Merit Scholarship recipient, a National Institute of Health Research Fellow, and an honor graduate from UTHSCSA Dental School. I am one of the founding members and benefactors of the Magnolia Education Foundation. I enjoy a number of “hobbies” though my greatest joy is spending time with my wife of 24 years and my three wonderful, charming daughters.
