I grew up on a small farm in Eagle Point, Oregon and was always restless and eager to learn new things. After graduating high school, I moved to San Diego to live in a big city and go to college. I found a passion for small business and dropped out of college to start my first business at 21. My father was close to retirement at what was then the early 90’s and he offered to teach me the dental lab business. I moved back up to Oregon and began my Dental tech career.

I’ve spent 33 years as a lab owner, 2 time past president of the Oregon Associating Of Dental Laboratories and now working on a 3rd term.

Away from the the lab my interests are being an available loving dad to 5 kids, starting new businesses, coaching young people on business principles, traveling, flying as a private pilot, studying economic cycles, long wave cultural cycles, spirited discussions on political issues, philosophy, cooking, fitness, nutritional health and constant self improvement along with in depth discussions on the human condition.
