I graduated from a small town of 2,000 outside of Lubbock TX called Idalou. After finishing high school, I completed my college years at West Texas A&M University and continued on to school at the University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston and finished in 2015.

The following year I accepted a position at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry (where I unknowingly fell in love with the OKC area) in Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program.

After finishing at OU, I returned to Lubbock, Texas, and served in a family practice with my childhood dentist for four years.

When my daughter Quinn was born, I realized my true calling was to serve children.

In 2020, I matched at the New York University Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry in Yakima, Washington.

This was a great experience that fueled my passion while working at Children’s Village, which is a multi-specialty clinic focused on treating patients with special health care needs. Working with cardiology,neurology, orthopedics, speech pathology, behavioral health, autism spectrum clinics, and cleft lip and palate coordination opened my eyes and showed me the importance of team care.

Another bonus of settling in OKC is being close to my brother, who doubles as my best friend!

When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Cori, my daughter Quinn (3 years old), and my son Nash (16 months).
