After growing up in Fitchburg, MA, I began my career in dentistry at Monty Tech where I learned dental assisting as a trade. I fell in love with Maine and decided to attend the University of New England in Biddeford, ME, where I obtained my BS in Medical Biology. I then went on to receive my DMD at the University of New England College of Dental Medicine in Portland, ME. Graduating at the top of my dental class, I received the Academic Excellence Award and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) national dental honor society based on high scholarship and character. I met my wife, Dr. Jacqueline Velez while in high school and we are now both realizing our dream of being dentists. My aim is to get to know my patients’ individual needs and help them reach their oral health goals in a comfortable environment. I enjoy hiking, fishing, riding my motorcycle and spending time with family and friends.
