My Journey

I am the son of general dentist who practiced for 43 years in the town I grew up in, Vineland, NJ. I attended Middlebury College, where I played 4 years of baseball and football, and then went on to attend the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Graduating in 2003, I went on to complete a residency (AEGD) in the United States Air Force at Bolling & Andrews Air Force Bases and went on to serve 2 years on active duty. I moonlighted in private practice when I was in the USAF and spent two years afterward as an associate dentist before building my first dental brand, Virginia Dental Center in 2009. I went on to build Elite Dental in 2015, also in Arlington Virginia, and earned a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) that same year.

In 2016, I received my certification from Henry Schein Dental Business Institute, where I expanded my planning, building, leading, and lean management principles. I received my MBA from the University of Virginia, Darden School of Business in 2019.

My entrepreneurial passion allowed me to found SmileSIM™, a web-based smile simulation company.

I am passionate about learning and enjoy seeing others learn, develop, and succeed. I believe that excellent dentistry is a result of exceptional doctors and staff who lead.
