Orthodontics is the greatest profession on earth. It allows me to have a unique relationship with children at a very important time in their lives. It also allows me to help adults achieve better oral health and often do something they have always wanted to do but could not afford to do previously: create a beautiful smile.

Our team is very family-oriented. We all bring unique and special skills to the table and everyone is encouraged to express their ideas to make our practice better. We always have a smile on our face because we truly love what we do. We love the atmosphere we have created for our patients and we want them to enjoy their entire orthodontic experience.

I attended Bucknell University where I received Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology and Education. I completed my Doctorate of Dental Surgery at SUNY Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, and my orthodontic residency was completed at Children's Hospital.

I am on faculty at Washington Hospital Center teaching the orthodontic residents. This is a great way for me to keep up on the latest that orthodontics has to offer and to give back to the profession that I love. I also attend many continuing education courses throughout the year.

I am very involved in the community as a local business owner and love knowing and seeing and interacting with so many wonderful people in and out of the office. I have been involved in the Rotary Club for many years and recently held the title of President of our chapter. I go to all of our local schools and speak to the third grade classes about their dental health during Children's Dental Health Month in February.

I am married to my wonderful wife, Liz, who I met in college. We have four amazing children, Sarah, Katie, Meredith, and David, who I love spending time with and watching as they grow up. When I have free time I enjoy physical fitness, skiing, traveling, and of course, playing golf.
