I was born in Kotzebue, Alaska, the son of a bush pilot/carpenter/dog musher. From my earliest years I remember thinking that traveling by bush plane or dog sled was completely normal; it was how everybody got around, wasn't it? Growing up, I had a very extensive outdoors life, frequently hiking, camping, mountain climbing and exploring with my family. I was the second-born of ten kids, so the joys and chaos of living in a large family are very familiar to me. I married my true love, Becky, in April of 2003, and then began what I didn't know at the time would be a decade of intensive university attendance and professional development, eventually leading me to a career in dentistry. I have two beautiful children, Simon and Hannah. They bring so much joy into my life! I would say that my family is my top priority.
I love music, movies and food (side note: Minnesota brought poutine into my life- for that I will be eternally grateful). I love to laugh. You'll find that I have an unusual sense of humor. I’m big into board games, Star Wars and all things geeky. I love being so far out in the wild that you would have no hope for rescue if you needed it. I LOVE the ocean!
I believe one of the highest virtues anyone can aspire to is compassion. It gives me great honor and a sense of humility to experience and witness the process of healing as my patients and I set goals and work to achieve them. Receiving any type of medical or dental treatment is challenging - at times even intimidating - and I understand that. I promise to always treat you with compassion and with an open ear to hear what your concerns or personal challenges are. I am committed to do anything within my power to make sure you have the best possible experience while you are here.
The story starts in Isanti, MN, where myself, my giant head, and chubby baby body were born into a wonderful family. What followed were decades of becoming involved in numerous sports and activities, including the fastest and most exciting game on earth, hockey, and a Tour De Minnesota for post-secondary education featuring Moorhead, Mankato, and finally Minneapolis.
Mankato holds a special place in my heart because that’s where I met my future bride, Sarah. Our little family expanded by about 25lbs in the form of a rescued chihuahua/Dachshund mix named Ernie and eventually a chihuahua/terrier mix rescue named Otto when we moved to Apple Valley. Hiking and volleyball are high on our list of things to do together, and now that I’m out of the money vacuum that is the college education system, we’re hoping to get some traveling in! I also enjoy playing competitive hockey and hope to learn how to play piano someday before my hands and fingers are immobilized by arthritis via years of abuse from sports and dentistry.
I consider being a licensed dentist an honor. With that honor comes the obligation and responsibility to provide the best dental care for my patients. The technical skill and knowledge of dentistry are important, but what I find even more important is the ability to communicate with patients in a way to make them feel comfortable and understood. I also like to incorporate some humor into each and every appointment, so expect to smile and laugh a little, too!
You want to meet an all-star dental assistant? Check out this girl: Meghan was indoctrinated into dentistry through her aunt, who is also a dental assistant. After graduating from her program in 2017 down in Rochester, Meghan assisted for several years in a pediatric clinic, where she developed some amazing skills in dealing with and a great fondness for our littlest humans. She has an amazing can-do attitude and a perfectly compatible sense of humor to fit in with the rest of our clinical team. In her free time she labors endlessly on her hobby farm where she raises chickens. Meghan has a passion for all things pasta (she would have it for every meal if she could) and travelling around the USA with her horse, finding the best trails and state parks to ride in.
The real power behind the clinic, Becky makes sure all the gears are running and the power stays on! She's crazy enough that she actually enjoys doing piles of paperwork to keep us open and in business, which means that she is the right person for the job. Don't be fooled by her friendly smile though - she actually has a bullwhip hiding in her office, which she takes out and uses on the doctor if he gets out of line! A force to be reckoned with, to be sure, but she still has the same compassionate love of dentistry as the rest of the team. If you want to be put in your place, challenge her to a game of racquetball and prepare to be punished. We love her!
Angel grew up in neighboring North Branch, where in her senior year of high school she received a scholarship for Dental Hygiene, and that’s where all the magic began. She graduated from Argosy University in 2015 and settled into Lindstrom with her husband and two fur babies. Her goal with any patient is make sure their dental appointment is a positive experience, and how can you not have a positive experience with an Angel cleaning your teeth? She loves teeth so much she even has a tattoo of one! When she is not thinking about teeth, she is watching the food network so she can be the world’s best amateur chef or playing softball in Rush City.
