I grew up in Eastern Washington, received my under-graduate degree from Pacific Lutheran University in 1983 and then graduated Alpha Omega (the top standing in my class) and a Member of the OKU Dental Honor Society from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 1991.I completed additional training in veneers, full-mouth reconstruction and advanced bonding techniques. I then spent 5+ years instructing dentists from all over the United States in cosmetic dentistry.Curently, in addition to my regular office hours, I am teaching those same techniques at the Dental Hygiene School at Eastern Washington University.I am married and have 4 children. I enjoy cycling and running, playing the piano and reading a great book whenever time allows. I'm active in my church as a small group leader.
