Personal
Born and raised in Western Nebraska I had wanted to be a dentist since Junior High. My wife of 36 years and I were married after one year of college. She supported us until our daughter was born during my second year of Dental School. After graduation in 1979, we both wanted to move back home.
Morrill needed a dentist and I needed a location. That was 30 plus years ago and we are still here and thankful. We had a son 3 years after our daughter and now have two beautiful granddaughters. We could not be more thankful for God’s rich blessings in our lives through family, friends and Jesus.
Professional
Shortly after graduating from the University of Nebraska Dental College and setting up private practice in Morrill, NE, I committed to provide the highest level of dentistry through rigorous continuing education courses. I have committed the most time to the following areas: dental implantology, full mouth rehabilitation, extensive cosmetic training, periodontal and oral surgery, TMJ treatment, laser dentistry, and orthodontics.
We have an incredibly caring, proficient and personal team. I am complimented several times a week on how great they really are – It’s a joy.
I believe God has called me to the field of dentistry to serve and honor Him by serving and honoring His creation. To God be the praise for what He has done through His Son Jesus in my life, family, practice and serving in the body of Christ.
