I am a detail oriented person by nature, which fits perfectly with the practice of dentistry. Dentistry is never boring to me, since no two procedures or patients' needs are exactly the same. It is personally fulfilling to change people's lives by improving their smile and contributing to their overall health. My patients are like family. They have interesting and diverse personalities and lifestyles, which makes every day a special day when they share a little bit of their lives with us.

Outside the Office

I have lived in Tampa Bay my entire life and live there now with my wife, two sons, and two cats. I enjoy attending my kid's sporting events, collecting wine, attending Florida Gator football, reading, re-learning to play the piano, and improving my snow skiing technique. I attend and contribute to various charity events including the American Cancer Society and Family Resources and I volunteer at Second Harvest Food Bank and Faith Cafe.
