Bio

I was born and raised in a small town of South Carolina and who would have thought that I would grow up to be a dentist there. Dentistry is definitely my calling and I love everything about the field. There are so many ways to touch people everyday and I strive to have an effect on everyone I meet. My goal is to help everyone I come in contact with to realize that your mouth is a window into your body and often times we see things well before a physician does. My life changed dramatically this year with the birth of our first child, a daughter, who is the light of our lives. With it making my job as a small business owner more challenging it has made my life have so much more meaning. I look forward to helping you in anyway that I can and hopefully making an impact on your life.
