If you ask me what made me become a dentist, I would have to say that I’ve always wanted to be a dentist, ever since I thought about what to do when I grow up. I guess it’s sort of a family tradition. I have a several relatives who are dentists, and I think I just decided early on that I wanted to follow in their footsteps.
After graduating from Tufts University in 1998, I worked for a couple of years at different offices while sampling the many aspects of dentistry, trying to figure out what I really liked to do. As it turned out, I really liked all of it, especially the challenging aspects of dentistry. To this day, having something new and challenging all the time, but also possessing the experience and ability to tackle them and help patients with dental problem is what drives me and look forward to doing dentistry day after day.
In the same spirit, as a guy who loves the outdoors, I also embrace many challenges when I’m not playing dentist. Several times a year I train for different marathons and triathlons. Next year my friends and I are going to the Boston Marathon. We’re also big on skiing, so Utah becomes a popular destination in the winter times.
Looking forward to meeting you in our office!
