Dentistry provides me an avenue to help people, challenge me on a daily basis, and provide for my family in a meaningful and community-focused way. The relationships I have created with patients and their families have given me the opportunity to better understand people from a wide range of backgrounds, providing me with the chance to broaden my horizons and experiences.

I feel very blessed to have been given gifts that allow me to serve people in my community every day. My profession allows me to give back to a community that has given so much to me. It feels good to be able to do things for patients that they never dreamed possible. It is exciting and rewarding to take a patient that is anxious about a dental visit and actually makes them look forward to coming into the office! To be able to change the way people feel about themselves, and make some people smile for the first time, is really what dentistry is all about.
I am a proud native of Paducah, and so happy to have spent my life and career in such a wonderful community. My wife and practice partner, Kathy, have been married for over 30 years. We have two daughters, Kristen and Paige, a son-in-law named Kip, and a grandson named Maddox. Our dogs, Annie and Nemo, keep our hands full at home.
My free time is spent playing lots of golf, traveling, cycling, and training for a half marathon with Kathy. I am also a huge UK basketball & St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan! Kathy and I are members of First Baptist Church in Paducah. Through the church, Ive been on foreign mission trips, during which Ive had the privilege of serving in Central and South America as a dentist.

I chose dentistry because I wanted to improve peoples self-confidence. I want to help people get the smile they have always wanted and regain the function that their teeth once had. I continuously strive to be the best dentist for my patients.
When Im not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife, Claire, and I have two beautiful daughters, Lucy and Sophie, and a dog named Louie. If Im not with my family you can probably find me on the golf course, trying to get better at the sport I have fallen in love with. I have a strong sense of pride being from Paducah, which fuels my desire to become active in the community to help it thrive. My family has been in Paducah for decades and I not only wish to provide the best quality care for my patients but through community involvement, I hope to enhance the area as a whole.
I grew up in the Paducah area and have many friends and family here. Ive always enjoyed meeting new people and working with my hands. Dentistry has provided the perfect career to combine these traits and utilize them daily. I strive to learn something new each day I walk in the office and am committed to continuing education to better serve my patients. I take great pride in having an honest relationship with my patients. I strive to do everything in my power to exceed their expectations and help them not only feel comfortable, but enjoyment in coming to the dentist.
When Im not working youll find me spending time withfriends and family. I like to stay active by playing sports such as golf and tennis. I enjoy traveling and seeing new places. Im an avid University of Louisville and St Louis Cardinals fan and try my best to watch allthe games I can. I enjoy reading and I like to try my hand at cooking every now and then. Ive been fortunate to serve on a dental mission to Jamaica and look forward to more opportunities like this in the future.
