On the Personal Side….
I consider myself to be one of the luckiest people in the world. When I was a young boy living just outside Tulsa, my family would escape the oppressive Oklahoma summer heat and vacation in Colorado. I remember seeing the mountains for the first time at a very young age and thinking what an amazing site they were. I quickly fell in love with the state, so much so that I had a Colorado flag in my room growing up. Now I’m blessed to call Colorado home.
I live 30 minutes north of downtown Denver and have a jaw-dropping view of the Rocky Mountains from my back door. When I’m not working in the dental industry, I’m keeping my passion for sports alive, covering the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Rockies for online media properties. Interviewing these professional players and coaches gives me the opportunity to tell their stories beyond just the final score.
I joined the dental community in 1999 as the editor for Proofs, a magazine devoted to covering the dental industry. I wasn’t sure how long I would stay in dentistry, but I quickly discovered it to be an enclave filled with wonderful people who were passionate about what they do. To this day, I love being a part of it and learning from people at all levels.
My wife is my best friend and a dental practice management consultant. My daughter is studying to be a physical therapist at the University of Oklahoma. They are my greatest joys and the two people who inspire me the most.
I’m lucky. I’m blessed. I’m happy. Life is good.
