My Story
I love my job! That’s why I have been practicing orthodontics since beginning my first practice in Boone, NC in 1975. I relocated to the High Point area in 1988, where I love working with our fun and enthusiastic team members. I especially enjoy coming to work to see our amazing patients every day! I believe that a smile changes everything and love to see the difference we make in each of our patients’ lives.
My Training and Continuing Education
After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I continued at the UNC School of Dentistry for my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I then received my certificate in orthodontics from Emory University.
Over the years, I have spent hundreds of hours continuing my education through annual meetings, workshops, and courses. My years of clinical experience and commitment to excellence enable me to treat all types of orthodontic cases, from simple crowding to the most complex surgical issues. A member of some of the nation’s most prestigious orthodontic study clubs, I am honored to be recognized as an expert in my field.

My Family Life
I married my wife Carolyn in 1978. We live on a small farm in Davidson County, NC with our golden retriever, Ruby, our rooster, Jasper, and 6 hens. We have four grown children — Chad, Ryan, Jess, and Zach — and are thoroughly enjoying being grandparents to our 8 beautiful grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with my “rowdy” family, woodworking, and golfing. You could also consider me a movie buff!
