Education/Experience
I graduated from the University of Western Ontario as a General Dentist in 1987, and practiced general dentistry for 7 years. I continued on to Oregon Health Sciences University, graduating as a Certified Specialist in Orthodontics in 1995. My family and I chose to move back to our hometown and I have practiced here as an Orthodontist since that time.
My education in dentistry and orthodontics, as well as my time in private practice, has provided me with a strong, well-rounded foundation of knowledge and experience.

Outside the Office
Being one of 6 children born and raised in Windsor, I feel I have strong family ties to the Windsor Essex County area. I share my life with my lovely wife Carolyn, and have two awesome children, Gabrielle and Alexandre. I have many interests, but really enjoy hunting, fishing, aviation, active sports and of course Orthodontics! I look forward to meeting you in our office and to giving you a smile that will take you Straight into the Future.
