1. Tell us about one of your “big wins” recently.

We’ve partnered with two new dental schools to help them create their new student bur kit issues!

2. What’s the best career advice you ever received?

Remember to always “Control the Controllables.” Control the things that you can control and don’t worry about the rest. Worrying about everything that is out of your control will only make you crazy.

3. In 10 years, the biggest change about dental education (or dentistry) will be …

The adoption, advancement and integration of AI technology in everything—in the technology you buy and use as clinicians, in the integration with your software and interactions with patients, etc.

4. What’s your favorite TV show—and why?

The Last Dance. I’ve watched the series maybe 10 times and it never gets old. The old footage of MJ and the NBA (in general) in the ‘90s is so fun to watch. Getting to know his mindset before each season and game is just incredible to watch and learn about. Such an amazing talent!

5. What’s one thing people would be surprised to learn about you?

I love Broadway musicals! Oklahoma, Guys & Dolls, Wicked, The Greatest Showman, etc.
