As a teenager, I was interested in science and medicine and their growing involvement in revolutionizing how health was perceived. When I became an orthodontist in 1972, methods for orthodontia were still being refined. Since I began practicing orthodontics, technology has evolved in a way that has allowed not only for a more precise treatment, but for a more personal interaction with patients. Because of this, my enthusiasm and desire to continue practicing has intensified. If time would permit, I would want to put off retirement as long as possible to work with my children and watch as our practice advances into the 21st century.

Education/Experience:

I attended Texas A&M where I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology before continuing on to Loyola University Dental School, receiving my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I furthered my education at Loyola University, earning a Master of Science degree in Orthodontics. I am a board certified orthodontist and have been practicing in Brevard County for almost 40 years.

A commitment to the community

I was born in the San Francisco Bay area of California. My family moved east when I was very young. I have lived and worked in Brevard County for more than 30 years. I currently live in Merritt Island with my wife, Patricia, the Boss. We have four children and three cats, Sushi, Sake, and Wasabi. When I'm not at the office I enjoy running and walking every day, traveling, surfing the Internet, and watching movies.
