I grew up in Versailles, Ohio, and graduated from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry in 2002.

After graduation I spent three years serving as a Dental Officer in the U.S. Navy.  My first year was spent completing an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency which included rotations in all specialties including Oral Surgery with focus on 3rd molar removal and IV sedation.  The next two years I served on board the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy and did a 7 month deployment to the Persian Gulf providing dental care to our sailors and marines.

At the end of my commitment, I returned to Columbus and spent a few years bouncing around and working in different practices.  I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to join Grandview Dental Care in 2009 and became owner in 2011.   Sedations services have been offered at the practice for many years so I continued those offerings by becoming  IV moderate sedation certified in 2016.

Since 2016 we have performed 500+ separate sedation appointments and removed 1500+ impacted 3rd molars.
