I grew up in western Washington and moved around a lot while growing up. I moved to Newberg in 2001 to go to George Fox University where I earned a degree in computer science. I worked as a software developer for almost 10 years before deciding to head back to school and change directions.
After graduating from dental school at Oregon Health & Science University, I worked in several different clinics around the more rural parts of Oregon serving low income patients.
I am married to my beautiful wife Nicole, my college girlfriend from GFU. We were married in 2006 and have 3 great kids, who keep us very busy. We have a daughter (Reese, 10), and two boys (Wyatt, 5 and Bennett, 3). In my “free time”, I enjoy playing the guitar, hiking, watching movies, and drinking tea.
Toothbrush: I’ve used the Oral B Genius electric toothbrush since I was in dental school and I really like it.
Toothpaste: I really just use whatever I can get my hands on. People always ask if I have a preference between Crest and Colgate and I always tell them it’s like the difference between Coke and Pepsi, just personal preference. Side note: I do not recommend drinking Coke, Pepsi, or any other soda.
