"I was born and raised on a Wisconsin farm. After graduating as valedictorian of my class, I entered Northwestern as a chemistry major to become a physician. While in college, my teeth needed orthodontic work so I became friends with a local orthodontist and paid for my braces by mowing lawns and completing handy man jobs. Our friendship and his mentoring lead to my interest in pursuing a career in orthodontics.
I find dentistry to be very artistic so it goes hand and hand with what I enjoy doing at home. My life is an endless parade. I love to do a million things: play piano, sing in a polka band (Uncle Earl and His Fuzzy Cousins), garden & landscape, run in local races, play basketball & sports, read and fill my time with artistic projects such as special effects for my children's parties. I love to roll up my sleeves and live my life.
Because of my love of sports and music, I can totally connect with kids and it's very natural. They are a part of my life and we'd love for you to join our family so please come and visit us."
