While I’ve been practicing orthodontics for over 20 years, I began working at my father’s office when I was 12 years old. Having my dad as an example and seeing how much he loves being an orthodontist made it an easy decision to follow in his footsteps and accomplish my dream of working alongside my role model.
Education and Continuing Education
Doctorate of Dental Medicine – University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine
Orthodontic Residency – University of Rochester Eastman Dental Center
I routinely attend continuing education courses consisting of lecture-based series, hands-on workshops, and study club meetings to stay informed of new techniques and technology so that my patients can receive the best orthodontic care possible. Additionally, my memberships in several professional organizations provide the opportunity to discuss multi-disciplinary approaches to patient care with my peers.
I take pride in being a Diamond+ Invisalign provider, which is the highest tier level with Invisalign. I am honored to be one of the top 1% Invisalign providers in North America!

Outside the Office
Originally from Uniontown, PA, I now reside in Farmington with my black lab, Sophie, and Australian Labradoodle, Cooper. My leisure time is spent enjoying the great outdoors, doing anything from hunting and fly-fishing to snow skiing and snowmobiling. I also enjoy traveling and have done extensive mission work throughout the world, including in the former USSR, Mexico, and the jungles of Papua New Guinea.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife Lindsey and our two Portuguese Water Dogs, Bruce and Miller. I am a die-hard Pittsburgh sports fan and love the outdoors, especially fly fishing. I am also involved in Project Healing Waters, a group that teaches fly fishing to disabled veterans. Giving back to the community is very important to me and something I try to do as much as I can.
