A personal connection
What Inspired Me to Become an Orthodontist
My experiences when I had braces, twice, inspired me to become an orthodontist. I genuinely looked forward to each appointment because it was fun and they made sure I left feeling special. I knew right then I wanted to be an orthodontist, so much so that I still have my headgear as a memento.
More than a straight smile
What I Enjoy About Orthodontics
I look forward to creating an enjoyable experience for the patient, no different than when I sat in the chair. I strive to make each patient as excited for the next visit as they are about achieving that picturesque result. That straight smile, though rewarding, is only part of the journey. Even as a general dentist, I found that patients undergoing orthodontics became more comfortable with dental treatment in general.
Education, service & experience
Education and Experience
I was born and raised in Oregon, graduating in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science from Oregon State University and earning my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry in 2007. After school I joined the United States Navy, treating the dental needs of naval recruits in Great Lakes, IL, and sailors aboard the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, based out of Yokosuka, Japan. After the Navy, I continued my dental career in private practice and public health, and finished as the Dental Director for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians' Health Clinic.
After a fourteen-year diverse career in general dentistry, I went back to school, earning a certificate in Orthodontics from a residency program based out of Washington, DC at MedStar Washington Hospital Center / Georgetown University Medical Center / Children's National Medical Center. The rigorous program had a strong emphasis on orthognathic surgery preparation and helping patients with cleft and craniofacial syndromes.

Life beyond orthodontics
Life Outside the Office
I met my wife Yuka in Japan while giving a tour of our ship's dental department to Japanese dentists. We have two wonderful children together, Laylana and Logan, who always keep us busy and entertained.
My hobbies are all over the place, from woodworking and house remodeling to karaoke and watching movies with the family. I am also always looking for my next superhero fix, and if you bring up TMNT you will really get me talking.
