He then opened a family dental practice in Auburn, Nebraska. After ten years in private practice, he decided to pursue his dream of becoming a pediatric dentist at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha based out of Children’s Hospital.

He is a member of Nebraska Dental Association, American Association of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association. He is also board-certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

“Working with children is one of the most rewarding specialties in the dental profession. I believe that fear of going to the dentist is very real for both children and adults. I want to help children and parents overcome that fear and maintain a healthy mouth for a lifetime. I consider prevention of dental disease, through nutrition and hygiene, my number one priority in pediatric dentistry.”

In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Danelle, their two daughters and their giant Bernadoodle, Charlie. He also loves to be outdoors and driving his grandfather’s restored International Scout.

She believes there is always more to learn, and staying current with the latest research and advancements in pediatric dentistry is crucial for providing the best care possible for my patients. She loves learning new things to bring to the practice.
