I was born and raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho. At the young age of four, I made up my mind that I wanted to be a dentist and then never lost sight of that goal. After finishing high school, I served a two-year mission for my church in New Mexico, and it didn’t take long for me to gain a deep appreciation for this great state and its people. In the following years, I graduated from BYU-Idaho with a degree in Exercise Physiology and then subsequently attended Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine – Arizona. In May 2024, my lifelong dream was finally realized: I graduated with my DMD and did so at the top of my class. The cherry on top was marrying my wife, Kate, shortly after graduation. Together we decided to plant our roots in none other than the Land of Enchantment. Although my initial stint of New Mexico living a decade earlier was relatively short in duration, it left a lasting impact on me and ultimately led to my return. Recently we welcomed a new baby girl into our family, and we couldn’t love her more. We all enjoy spending time together regardless of the activity, whether fishing, hiking, or taking a spontaneous trip to Disneyland.

I truly love what I do as a dentist. It’s incredibly rewarding to restore broken, damaged, or decayed teeth and help people enjoy a beautiful smile. I have a lot of passion for my profession and am always seeking to hone my skills and perfect my craft. Perhaps the coolest thing about my work, however, is getting to know so many amazing patients with stories of their own. I am truly fortunate to have that opportunity every day!
