My career took root two and a half decades ago when I first stepped into the dynamic field of dentistry. With an eye for detail and a commitment to continuous improvement, I navigated the challenges of the industry, always striving to provide the best care possible. My skills were not confined to the clinical chair alone; I also ventured into administration and management. This path led to product development with my employers and private consulting, where my innovative ideas began to make a significant impact.

My role as a team coach and mentor further solidified my status as a guiding light in the dental community. Through workshops and conferences, I shared my wealth of knowledge, empowering others to achieve excellence in their practices.
My expertise didn’t go unnoticed. I authored numerous professional publications, each a testament to my deep understanding of dentistry and innovative approach. I pioneered new dental assisting techniques and products, setting new standards and advancing the field. My contributions were so significant that I was invited to serve on advisory boards for numerous dental manufacturers, shaping the future of dental care with my insights.
I was committed to education and excellence and took on roles with prestigious employers. I worked with renowned practitioners such as Ross Nash DDS, Brad Durham DDS, and Jeff Blank DMD. In these positions, I played a pivotal role in enhancing practice management, clinical operations, and educational facilities.
