I am a proud Colorado native and could not think of a better place to call home than Steamboat Springs. Whether I am scampering up Emerald Mountain, grabbing a drink at Mountain Brew, or taking in one of our many festivals and concerts, I am reminded on a daily basis that our valley truly is the heart of good living. That said, there is no good living without good people to share it all with, and I have been blessed with a wonderful wife (Kristin), two daughters (Georgia and Beatrice) and one son (Forrest). My family is the purpose behind everything I do and my source of endless support.

I received my Bachelor of Arts from Colorado State University in Fort Collins as a Monfort Scholar studying liberal arts with a minor in Japanese. I obtained my doctorate from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. While at the University of Colorado, I completed research projects on the genetic basis of facial developmental abnormalities and presented at multiple national research conferences. I continued my dental training through an internship in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Connecticut Health Center, where I gained valuable experience with implants, wisdom teeth and conscious sedation of apprehensive patients.

My goal in providing dental care is to inform and educate my patients so that they are able to make the best decisions to suit their unique situations. There is rarely one right answer in making treatment decisions, and the patient should be an educated participant in finding the right path to move forward. When treatment does begin, the patient can rest assured that all care provided at High Country Dentistry is done with the highest standards in mind. We work with only the best materials, latest techniques and one of the highest quality dental labs in the state of Colorado to provide you with the best possible oral care. And all this is provided in an atmosphere of comfort and hospitality, quality work in a comfortable environment with people you trust.
