"I was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, an industrial town built by the auto industry. Through the influence of my loving parents, Catholic upbringing, and other influential adults, I developed strong ethical, moral and altruistic values that serve as my lifes compass. My passion to help others guided me during the first 20 years of my dental career, during which time I provided dental care to Native Americans on several reservations throughout the United States. I am blessed to able to provide dental care for children at the Odessa Brown Childrens Clinic."
