I'm a graduate of The Ohio State University (1984) and University of the Pacific School of Dentistry (1988) where I obtained degrees of biology and Doctor of Dental Surgery, respectively.

I practiced in a group practice setting at Naismith Dental Group in Oakland, CA before opening up my private practice in Walnut Creek, CA in 1991. In 1999 I accepted a position as Dental Director of a nonprofit clinic at Western Sierra Dental Clinic in Downieville, CA located in the beautiful Tahoe National Forest. I relocated to Las Vegas in June 2005 in order to join Balle and Associates and further utilize my 20 years of experience in general dentistry and extensive training in complex restorative dentistry, implants and orofacial pain.

Since moving to Las Vegas I also practiced at Painted Desert Dental, Gentle Dental-Flamingo, and Hospitality Dental before settling into Family and Cosmetic Dentistry Inc.

I’m being happily married to my wife Monica since 2003 and I have two dogs: Sneaky and Ziggy. For more info about me visit: www.lasvegasimplantdds.com
