“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
- Maya Angelou
I was born in Atchison and attended the Atchison 409 public schools. I then went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Emporia State University, an MBA from Wichita State University, and then on to Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Missouri Kansas City. Following graduation in 2003, I started practicing dentistry with the Atchison Dental Associates team. Several years later, I purchased the practice. In 2022, Dr. Merklein joined me in ownership and we now own and operate the practice together. I have certifications and proficiencies in many facets of dentistry including cosmetic, CAD-CAM, guided implant surgery, Dental Sleep Medicine, Healthy Start and Aligner Therapy, 3D imaging, and more. I strive for everyone to feel they are treated with respect, compassion and integrity. My goal is to provide patients with a confident smile by providing the best possible care in a relaxed, comfortable environment.
My wife, Melissa, and I live in Atchison and have two sons, CJ and Parker. My hobbies include golf, camping, snow skiing, horses, cars, and helping/coaching our sons with their sports and activities. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to reach your dental goals.
