What inspired you to become a dentist?
When I was 12 years old, I broke my two front teeth playing hockey. At the time, I thought I would never have front teeth again. I could not believe that my dentist was able to fix them. He inspired me to become a dentist and impact lives.

Tell us a fun fact about yourself
For 10 years, I have participated in an annual dental mission to the Solomon Islands. It’s a great honor to be able to provide families, living without electricity or running water, the much needed dentistry they deserve.
