What do you really enjoy?
I really enjoy spending quality time with my family—whether it’s a quiet evening at home or a fun outing. I’m also a huge sports fan, and I especially love watching Tottenham Hotspur play. When I’m not cheering on my favorite team, I enjoy being outdoors, whether it’s hiking, biking, or just enjoying nature.
What are you most passionate about professionally?
I’d say my passion in dentistry lies in educating people about their oral health, and helping them achieve their dental goals. I really enjoy being able to offer my expertise and clinical treatment that directly benefits patients.
What are you most passionate about personally?
Spending time with family and friends. My wife and I have a two year old daughter and a Bernedoodle. My favorite weekends are when we have someone visiting or we’re able to spend the weekend traveling to a close family member or friend.
Favorite breakfast food?
Bagels! You can’t go wrong with an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. I worked at the Bagel Bin for two years in high school with two of my closest friends. To this day, we’ll meet up just to get the “Bin” together.
What guided your interest in dentistry?
Growing up, I always wanted to be a Physician, like my dad. In college, I started looking more seriously into all the different job opportunities in a healthcare setting. The more I learned about the dental field, the more I was interested in becoming a dentist. After my first day shadowing a dentist, I knew it was my calling. Although it’s a commonly discussed topic, what truly drew me to dentistry was its unique blend of science and art within the healthcare field, along with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives.
Favorite ice cream flavor?
Cookies n cream
Favorite movie?
I don’t know that I have a favorite movie, but for TV shows my two favorites are The Office and Ted Lasso.
