To introduce myself, I would like to give you a short professional biography. In May 1977, I graduated from Graceland College, Lamoni, Iowa with a degree in Biology and Chemistry. After I graduated, I worked for General Motors at the Leeds Plant in Kansas City, Missouri as an assembly line worker until I could find a position in Biology or Chemistry. This search didn’t take long. In November of that year I went to work as a research chemist for Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, Missouri. In August of 1980 I quit this position to enroll at the University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC) Dental School and four years later, by the grace of God and a loving supportive wife, I graduated. I have been practicing family dentistry since June of 1984 and truly enjoy the art of making beautiful smiles.
Throughout my dental career I have been involved in many outside activities at various levels of responsibility. These activities and responsibilities include:
Rotary
Independence Chamber of Commerce
LEAD graduate
Independence Foundation Board
Independence, Missouri Advisory Board Health
Eastern Jackson County Dental Group
Greater Kansas City Dental Society
Missouri Dental Association
American Dental Association
Academy of General Dentistry
Health Ministry Association (HMA)
Greater Kansas City Implant Study Club
However, considering all my past and present activities, my greatest accomplishments are that I have been a husband since 1979 and a father since 1989.
Our mission as a practice is to provide a consistently outstanding dental experience that treats each patient as family. We hope to see patients on time and provide them with quality care, skill, and judgment. We will accomplish these goals with honesty and integrity. Come join our extended family of patients and allow our friendly office to help you create and maintain a healthy smile.
