Changing Lives, One Person and One Smile at a Time
I feel truly blessed to be an orthodontist! I am a third-generation dentist and the sixth dentist in our family. My dad is a now retired orthodontist and a huge role model for me. Growing up, I job shadowed him and saw the excitement and fulfillment he found in helping others. Witnessing his happiness over his career inspired my interest and, as I grew up, I became passionate about it too!

Beyond the Office
I married my best friend, Nicole, in October 2022 and we had our first child, Abigail, in September 2023. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing tennis, working out, golfing, attending sporting events, and listening to live music. We have two rescue dogs, Bella and Toby.
In the Community
Sheboygan County is a wonderful area and I feel lucky to both live and practice here! I am committed to supporting others and making our community healthier and stronger. Giving back to the community in the form of supporting local sports teams, schools, theatre, music, etc. is very important to me.
I was a member of Kids from Wisconsin in the 2010 and 2011 seasons and continue to support them each year when their show comes to Sheboygan county. Check them out when they come to town if you've never seen a show, you won't be disappointed!
I also love teaching people about oral health and the positive changes that result from orthodontic treatment. I’ve given talks at Acuity Insurance and to dentists and other oral healthcare professionals at the Sheboygan County Dental Society meetings.
