I truly love to see the transformation that my patients go through when progressing with orthodontics. I enjoy seeing the changes orthodontic treatment can make in a patient's life, not just in his or her appearance but also in his or her confidence and self-image. I strive to provide these great smiles in a fun, enthusiastic and caring environment. I take pride in my work. I do my absolute best to treat every case with delicate care and individualism for true excellence. I love my profession and look forward to working with our great patients every day.

In the Community
For the past two years I have participated in Smiles Change Lives, a program providing braces to children in low-income families.
Outside the Office
I am a native of Saint Cloud and now reside in Minneapolis with my wife, Sophie, and our two sons, Oliver and Thomas. I enjoy spending time with my family, fly fishing in Minnesota and Wisconsin, playing tennis and squash, traveling, and hiking. Since Sophie is French, we are raising our boys to be bilingual and I’m doing my best to learn French as well!
