I was born in Detroit, raised in Orchard Lake, and attended Brother Rice High School where I was a member of the 1980 state championship football team. I then attended the University of Michigan earning a B.S. degree in biology. After undergraduate studies, I continued my education at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, graduating in 1989. I worked as an associate dentist for 4 years before starting my practice in Plymouth in 1993.  I am a member of the American Dental Association and the Michigan Dental Association.

     I have three children: Tom, Kristen, and Val. I enjoy running, mountain biking, basketball, skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, boating, and golf. I have run 10 marathons including New York City and Chicago. I have also been involved with the Cystic Fibrosis and Make-A-Wish Foundations.

I love dentistry and would encourage anyone interested to pursue it!
