Out of everyone that makes up our wonderful team, I am the newest to the dental field. After finishing up my business degree, I spent almost 20 years in sales and service within an industry totally unrelated to dentistry. Shortly after my wife, Dr. Sand, took over the practice that is now Thrive Dental Studio, we decided that together we were going to dedicate every ounce of energy we had into making sure this team, this practice, and its amazing patient base received the best care possible—both in AND out of the chair. It has been challenging, exciting, and gratifying all at the same time. There is definitely a quaintness and homeliness that come along with both this practice and being able to serve this tight-knit community alongside my lovely wife. Outside of work I enjoy cycling, woodworking, and nature and landscape photography. I am a die-hard NY Knicks fan, and while I do follow the Huskers, I bleed the garnet [and gold] of my beloved Florida State Seminoles. If you've been a loyal friend of the practice for years, we appreciate your continued trust in us. If you're looking for a new dental office to call home, please do call us or stop by. Either way, on behalf of the entire team, we look forward to seeing you soon!
