MEET THE DELEGATION In this section, we will introduce delegates and alternate delegates of the House of Delegates who represent WMDDS. This will provide members the opportunity to learn about the dentists representing them and for the delegation to share their stories and some business from the House.

There are so many great places, it’s hard to pick a favorite. In West Michigan, you can’t beat a couple of Pronto Pups and a visit to Grand Haven. We also love the Leelanau area.
Where is your practice location? Northeast Grand Rapids.
What is your favorite part about serving the House of Delegates? It’s a great way to stay in touch with local dentists and stay up-to-date on current issues.
What motivated you to get involved in organized dentistry? I was asked to serve on a committee by Steve Conlon in 2014. We had a great group on and I really enjoyed our meetings. It was such a great experience, I’ve looked for other ways to get involved since then.
Do you have any hobbies? My family and I like to go camping in the summer. We travel all around Michigan.
