I am a Santa Clara native. I take great pride in serving the community in which I grew up. One of the most thrilling aspects of being a community dentist is never knowing what familiar face will walk through my door—friends from Santa Clara University, teammates from Bellarmine, or teachers from grade school. Equally enjoyable, though, are the friendships to be made with the new faces that are welcomed into my practice.
My dental education began at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. I graduated with highest honors in 1996. I then completed a General Practice Residency at UCLA the following year.
I am a member of the American Dental Association. I have also been awarded memberships into Tao Kappa Omega and Omicron Kappa Upsilon, both academic dental fraternities.
In 1999, I was married at the Santa Clara Mission to Kelly Cook. We now live in San Jose with our two blessings from heaven, Evan and Mia.
I am an avid sports fan and offer this advice: If you want to stall the inevitable dental procedure, simply ask my opinion about the most recent football or baseball game and you will have yourself an extra 10 minutes of conversation.
I look forward to serving the dental needs of you and your family.
