As a passionate dentist and a proud Long Beach local, I’m honored to practice dentistry in the city I’ve called home for my entire life. It’s a wonderful, ever-evolving profession that allows me to care for people from all different backgrounds. I truly enjoy getting to meet the incredible families who walk through my doors and enhancing their overall health and confidence.

After attending Long Beach Poly High School, I went on to receive my Bachelor's degree in biology from the University of California, Irvine. Dental school brought me to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the Marquette University School of Dentistry – one of the most respected dental schools in the country. Flash forward, and I couldn’t be happier to be back home in the beautiful city of Long Beach as the owner of Heartwell Dental.

When I’m not at work, you can find me spending time with my lovely wife, Elizabeth, being involved at our church, and hanging out with our friends and family on the weekends. You might also see us taking a stroll along 2nd Street and paddle boarding around Naples Island. I also love my sports – let’s go Lakers!

Now, as a dentist in my community, I am proud to sit on the board of the Health and Human Services and serve the city of Long Beach!
