My team and I love making people smile. We take great pride and honor in restoring smiles to complete health. What sets our approach apart is the deep emotional connection we build: truly getting to know each patient and understanding what they’re missing in their smile. We treat every individual as uniquely special, helping them live with greater comfort, function, and confidence. We see the person first, then craft a personalized plan for their healthy, beautiful smile. It’s really that simple.
Education and Continuing Education
I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree in 2000 from the University of Florida. Prior to that, I received my bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of South Florida in 1996 and my Associate of Arts from Pasco-Hernando State College.
My brother Scott and I were college roommates, and we now work in the same building with a shared lobby. Even after nearly two decades of practicing side by side, we still enjoy eating lunch together every day. I love practicing in the community where I spent most of my life, surrounded by people who feel like family and neighbors.
In addition to my formal education, I actively pursue continuing education to expand my knowledge and deliver the highest standard of care. We are always integrating proven new technologies to provide the most up-to-date treatment. Digital dentistry has advanced significantly in our practice, and we strive to remain at the cutting edge of dental medicine. We also continue advanced study in smile reconstruction using implant dentistry.

Outside the Office
I grew up on a small farm in southwestern Pennsylvania and moved to the West Pasco area when I was 13. After dental school, I returned home and have lived and practiced in this wonderful community ever since.
I have been married to my beautiful wife, Heylen, since 1998 — we met as teenagers. Together we have three sons: Ethan, Connor, and Allen, along with our dog Bentley (named after my hometown in Pennsylvania).
