About Me

I've been in the dental industry for 27+ years and have been blessed to work with, and help, so many amazingly wonderful people during my tenure. I've been helping dentists and their teams achieve their goals, grow their practices/business, successfully plan for their future and the modernization of their practice, and basically create the practice of their dreams. You can count on me to be there for you every step of the way.

I'm as transparent as they come. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI in a loving and respected family. My personal, and family values, were instilled in me by my parents and two wonderful, older sisters. They created a foundation within me that I am now building around my own family. I'm married to the greatest woman alive and my best friend (Jen), and we have 4 remarkable children: Jacob (22, graduating Senior at Cal Poly SLO), Lauren (19, sophomore at Cal Poly SLO), Santiago (16 Junior at San Dieguito Academy) and Matthew, the cutest little 10-year-old 4th grader you'll ever meet and attending Flora Vista Elementary in Encinitas.

I moved to San Diego in the summer of 1994 and fell in love with the fact that I can raise my kiddos outdoors and in the elements. I love being a dad, it's my greatest gift and favorite way to spend my time. Outside of that, you'll find me swinging a tennis or squash racket here and there, a pickle-ball paddle, and/or camping with the Indian Guides with my youngest son, or hiking one of the thousand trails that Southern CA has to offer with my bride and kids!
