I grew up in Independence, KS and graduated High School in 2001. After graduating from Washburn University with a B.S. in Biology in 2005, I began dental school in 2007 and will graduate in 2011 from UMKC. In the summer of 2011, I will marry my lovely fiance, Heather Simmons, and begin practicing as a general dentist in Neodesha, KS.
