I am a restorative dentist working in Vero Beach, FL. I graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1990. I have a BS in Zoology also from UF. I also did a residency program in Advanced General Dentistry. These days, you can’t just be a compassionate dentist. You also have to be technologically proficient and flexible/adaptable. I started out doing procedures that no one else wanted to do like surgical extractions and molar root canals since it seemed like everyone wanted to do cosmetic or crown and bridge dentistry so it was initially a crowded field. I eventually got into placing dental implants since my patients didn’t want to go to another office for those procedures. After hearing “you took it out, can’t you put one in” a few hundred times it got me into implants.

I have a wonderful and supportive wife of 28 years. I have a son who is a mechanic and a daughter who is student in college. I have an awesome staff that’s always willing to help our patients.

Okay World! This is a blog about my personal and professional experiences. Ideas and images contained herein are mine and no one else’s. Some people may even get angry or annoyed at the ideas and opinions expressed here. Too bad. Some are really cool and happiness inducing and others are things that have happened that really bothered me. You see, everyone has an opinion; however, so many of them are commercially contrived. I’m not about that because I’m not selling anything. It is my sincere hope that some will even get inspired. I’ve stood on the shoulders of giants in my life and inspiration is always at hand. Sometimes, though, you have to sort through life to find it. There is a lesson to be had in everything that happens to a person, both good and bad.

I think it is important to be yourself since no one else can occupy your body. Always be true to yourself. Always be honest. Do your best where you can, when you can and as often as you can.

I am a loving husband married to an awesome and supportive wife, a father of two kids, a dentist, a music lover and a tennis player. I’ll be talking about many topics here. Hopefully many will be thought provoking. I’ll try to avoid politics but that’s really difficult since the world is always a political place often ostentatious in its presentation of astounding beauty and outright ugliness. It can be dangerous too. To remain in silence is to give comfort to oppressors. Above all, just be nice to each other. Life’s way too short. So buckle up and let’s go!
