about me
I have been practicing dentistry since 2012, from private practice to teaching as an attending dentist at Valleywise Hospital. I have been with my beautiful wife for over 10 years and love family time. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, playing the piano, and salsa dancing.
Favorites
My favorite book is The Power of Now. My favorite vacation spots are Puerto Vallarta, San Diego, and Hawaii. I am also an avid record collector of rare gems.
