A Native of White Bear Lake
I grew up in White Bear Lake, a place that holds a special place in my heart. It is where I learned the values of community and compassion.
A Lifelong Learner
After graduating from Mahtomedi High School, I pursued my passion for horticulture and received a Bachelor's degree in horticulture and microbiology from Iowa State University. But my educational journey didn’t end there. I went on to pursue my dream of becoming a dentist. In 2016, I obtained my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota.
A Dedicated Dental Practitioner
My journey as a dental practitioner started with a six-year associateship at a renowned family practice in Apple Valley. In 2022, I joined Lakeshore Family Dentistry. I was looking for a dental practice deeply rooted in its community, and I was fortunate to find such a great fit back home.
I am honored to be part of the Lakeshore Family Dentistry team, and I look forward to serving you and your family with the highest level of care and compassion.
Treating Friends and Neighbors
I am proud of our relationships to the community at Lakeshore Family Dentistry. We treat our patients like friends and neighbors because in many cases, they are. We believe in building strong relationships and providing exceptional care. I value working at Lakeshore because it combines my passion for clinical expertise with a desire to create a warm and welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
Continuously Improving
Continuing education is a vital part of my professional growth. I actively participate in various professional organizations and stay updated with the latest advancements in oral facial growth and development. At Lakeshore Family Dentistry, we have access to the best technology available in dental care. I am continuously seeking ways to improve our impact on our White Bear Lake community.
A Focus on Whole Health
I firmly believe that oral health is closely linked to overall health. By understanding the impact of oral health on the entire body, including the growth and development of the jaws and facial structure, I strive to provide comprehensive care that goes beyond just treating teeth.
Embracing All Age Groups
One of the joys of being a family dentist is the opportunity to care for patients of all ages. From performing procedures like frenectomies for infants to serving our oldest patients in their 90s and beyond, I am dedicated to providing personalized dental care for the whole family.
Outside the Office
When I'm not in the office, you can find me enjoying the great outdoors. I love hiking and exploring the beauty of nature, especially in northern Minnesota. I also appreciate good food and coffee, and spending quality time with my family, which includes my loving spouse, two young kids, a dog, and two cats.
