​
I grew up in Fort Mill, SC. Here the dental community had a tremendous impact on me. In high school I had the opportunity to shadow many different medical professionals. During my rotation I shadowed a dentist who inspired me to not only become a dentist but also become involved in my community. He preached to me the importance of community involvement.
​
After graduating from MUSC in 2022 I moved back to Fort Mill and the area was completely different. The population doubled and the amount of corporate dental offices exceeded the number of private practice owners. This completely changed the dynamic of my community. The hometown feel was lost. For the last 2 years my wife and I spent time in many small towns trying to find the community that fulfilled my desire to be part of the community, know the other dentists, and build meaning full connection with other small business owners. We landed on Shelby, NC!
​
I am so excited to now call Shelby home.
