DDS

I grew up in West Monroe, Louisiana and graduated from Northeast Louisiana University(now UL Monroe) in Construction Management. While I enjoyed working in construction, I felt like it was not something I was called to do. I loved science and working with my hands and I really felt like I wanted to do something in life to help others. So, Dentistry was the logical choice for me. So, I attended Louisiana Tech University majoring in Zoology/Pre-Dentistry followed by the LSU School of Dentistry. After graduating from LSU, I completed a General Practice Residency at the VA Medical Center in New Orleans.

After completing my residency, I moved to Helena, Montana where I practiced for almost eight years before needing to return to the warmth of Baton Rouge. While practicing in Baton Rouge, I was on the Dunham Pawbackers athletic board and was active with the Louisiana Dental Association, holding several offices including serving as President. I practiced in Baton Rouge for eleven years before being hired to expand and improve an Indian Health Clinic in Oklahoma. While in Oklahoma, I met and married the love of my life.

While I enjoyed my tenure in Indian Health, I missed aspects of dentistry not offered there. I enjoy implant dentistry which is not offered in Indian Health. Homesick for Louisiana, I decided to return home and do what I like to do, place and restore implants, hunt, fish and spend time with family. I have two brothers and two adult children living in Louisiana, two living in Oklahoma and one living in Uganda. I have grandchildren spread from Louisiana, to Oklahoma and Uganda as well.
