We are committed to providing the best preventative, restorative and cosmetic dentistry in the Watsonville, CA area. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and completed my dental training at Ohio State University. I then spent two years in the United States Naval Dental Corps in Southern California at the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base. I believed that Northern California might be a better fit for me so after leaving the Navy, I associated with a practice in Monterey. After four years, I was offered the opportunity to take over an existing practice in Watsonville, Ca. Never having explored the Pajaro Valley, I fell in love with the community and the wonderful patients in the practice. I had decided on dentistry while in high school because I enjoyed working with my hands and putting things together. It has turned out to be a wonderfully rewarding career. My hope is that every patient leaves our office feeling cared for and appreciated. I am blessed also to have the most fantastic staff who is committed to working together to offer personal and quality patient care. In my free time, I am passionate about exercise and compete regularly in triathlons. When not working out, I enjoy reading, doing crossword puzzles and supporting my wife’s Ironman training and racing. .
