I believe the key to a well-run practice is relationships. For over 30 years I have had the opportunity to build wonderful friendships with my patients based on trust and communication, all while helping them achieve a beautiful smile. Our office is a team-based environment, dedicated to creativity and well-being, and we believe that our patients are an integral part of that team.

A Foundation in Excellence

My education gave me the foundation I needed to provide the best care possible to my patients. I attended Indiana University School of Dentistry, earning my Doctorate of Dental Surgery, before continuing on to receive my Master of Science degree in Dentistry. It is critical for an orthodontist to constantly increase knowledge in this field. Besides belonging to Damon and Invisalign Study Clubs, I am committed to traveling the globe to increase my knowledge in the profession I love so dearly.

In the Orthodontic Community

It is very important for me to stay involved in the greater dental and orthodontic communities, and I am an active member in numerous professional associations including the American Board of Orthodontics, the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the American College of Dentistry, and the Indiana Dental Association.

Outside the Office

I am originally from Indianapolis and have resided in Bargersville for the past 32 years. My wife, Liz, and I have been married for 40 wonderful years and we have six grown children, Matthew, Stephen, Margaret, Sara, Alexandra, and Brittany. We also have two cats that the kids brought in and a bowl of fish. I prepare sermons weekly for a radio program that is broadcasted over the eastern region of the United States and am learning how to compose and edit on an Apple computer. I also enjoy feeding the local bird population, gardening, traveling, and fixing things around the house.
