My educational background includes a B.S. degree from the University of Minnesota at Duluth and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry.

Upon graduation from Dental School and setting up a solo dental practice, I realized that my training had only provided me with the tip of the iceberg of dental knowledge and I have been on a constant mission of attaining the best postgraduate dental education available. I participate in over 250 hours of Dental continuing education each year to assure you that the dentistry you receive is second to none. This 250 hours is over 15 times more than average Dentist attends in a year. Not only do I participate in these courses but I have had the opportunity to educate other Dentists on minimally invasive aesthetic restorations both nationally and internationally.

Lectures and courses taught include:

• 1998 and 1999 American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry national meetings,
• University of Minnesota Post graduate Program in Aesthetic Dentistry in 1998, 1999 and the upcoming 2000 class.
• Keynote speaker at the Minimally Invasive Dental conference at Chuulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. Presentations on single appointment minimally invasive dental restorations have been presented for dental study clubs across the nation.
• I have also provided in office training for dentists on micro air abrasion restorative dentistry and on the techniques for accomplishing laboratory processed restorations in office in a single appointment.

I am a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and various local and national dental study club groups. I am a restorative advisor for a Seattle Study Club group which focuses on complex comprehensive Restorative dentistry. I have received my Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry and completed the full curriculum at the L. D. Pankey Institute which is a post graduate program in comprehensive rehabilitative dentistry. I consult with various dental manufacturers on their products and on new product development.
