Undergraduate: Brigham Young University Dental School: University of Maryland School of Dentistry Personal Interests: Spending time with my wife, kids and the Thinh man, travelling, snow skiing, water skiing, camping, classic rock and motown music, football, sports, movies, revolutionary war history and food Why Arizona and UArizona College of Medicine – Phoenix: I chose Arizona for many reasons, but at the top of the list was the well-rounded experience and unique culture created by the attendings and the residents. Everyone, including those in the hospital, are happy to come to work every day and have a solid vision for what health care can become. UA becomes the feeder to many great Banner hospitals in the area extending our geographic influence. Also, Phoenix lays the groundwork for a broad exposure to the scope of oral surgery with a diverse and urban population that provides plenty of experience in trauma, TMJ surgery, dentoalveolar surgery, implantology, anesthesia and craniofacial work. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy 70 degree weather in January? With the facilities we work at and the people we interact with, it is all here to become one of the greatest programs in the country.

Here, we see a large volume and wide variety of oral and maxillofacial surgery and take trauma calls 365 days a year. We have a great relationship with the hospital faculty and staff, who are very welcoming and supportive to their residents. The residents are all great to work with and are very driven to succeed together providing an excellent learning experience!
