I grew up in the Bay Area and graduated from UC Davis in 1996. After brief forays into finance and computer science, I became interested in dentistry and graduated from the University of Texas, Houston Dental Branch. I have had my own dental practice in Manteca since 2005.
I joined the HPA Advisory Board because UC Davis has allowed me to become who I am today: a doctor, entrepreneur, loving husband and dad of three. I feel it is necessary for all individuals to give back to their community and to make a difference for future generations. By joining the HPA Advisory Board, I can offer my personal experiences, assist students on their academic/career development, and most importantly, instill confidence and a positive mindset to tackle whatever lies ahead.
