I’ve been in the Dental industry nearly a decade. During my time I worked for one of the leading handpiece manufacturers in the world, increasing my sales over 300% in the first 5 years. I visited and educated hundreds of dental offices in Northern California and Nevada. From the 1000’s of conversations I’ve had over the years, one thing became crystal clear: there is a huge void of practical, simple and quick education on dental equipment. My goal is to fill that void.
No two dental offices are the same: different units, people and philosophies. There is always something new to learn, and that knowledge is found through experience and questions. I’ve spent years asking those questions and finding solutions, it’s what drives me.
A little about me personally…I live in Northern California, and it’s home. With my wife, kids and mini schnauzer, we absolutely love it here. California 20 year native via Tennessee! I’m located halfway between Sacramento and San Francisco, 15 minutes outside of Napa. Throughout my career, I’ve travelled all over California! Eureka, Tahoe, SLO and so many places in between. California is a very special place.
The Dental Tutor has been a vision for many years and now it’s a reality. I appreciate you visiting and hope to hear form you soon.
