He appreciates that the Gentle Family Dentists team reserves time every week for updating staff skills. Constant, never-ending improvement is his goal, along with the rest of the staff.

I joined the team in 2018, but my love for dentistry started a long time ago. The dentist has always been my favorite appointment, now it is my goal to make our patients feel the same way. My favorite thing about Gentle Family Dentists is that we are given the opportunity to learn new things every day to give our patients the best care possible.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, bike riding and spending time with my family in the Quad Cities.
