Where he trained
Edmonton, and the University of Alberta, graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1996. A year as an associate in Vancouver, and then in 1997 he and Dr. Belbin moved to Kelowna and bought a family practice.
They ran it together for more than twenty-two years and sold it recently, for the travelling and the lake and the time with their two kids that owning a practice does not leave much room for.
How he works
The thing he says about his own practice is short and worth repeating: he values honesty, he listens, and he works at making people comfortable. Nearly three decades in, from someone still doing it in the same city, that reads as a description rather than a slogan.
There is no filmed interview with him. The other three dentists sat for one; this page is the written version.
Outside the practice
Pickleball, mountain and road biking, kite-surfing, hiking, paddle-boarding, wake surfing and snowboarding. The Okanagan is being used.
