Education and Continuing Education

I grew up in Richmond, Virginia. After high school, I lived overseas in Peru for two years where I completed a humanitarian mission and became fluent in Spanish. I later received a B.S. in Biology from Brigham Young University where I met my lovely wife, Silvia (who was raised in Peru and Japan).

I accepted a full ride scholarship from the Navy to attend dental school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Immediately following dental school, I completed a Navy sponsored residency program in Advanced Education in General Dentistry. After serving honorably in the Navy for seven years, I decided to pursue specialization in orthodontics at Jacksonville University in Florida. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and have been practicing dentistry since 2009.
