Drill Dental — founder & dentist

I founded Drill Dental, a multi-location implant and cosmetic group practice in South Florida, around careful dentistry, current technology, and pricing patients can understand. I designed the flagship office with Kappler Group, starting with how patients move through a visit.

I studied biology at Florida State and dentistry at NYU, then continued training in restorative, cosmetic, implant, and digital dentistry. Drill Dental is a certified Digital Smile Design clinic and a Neocis Platinum Center of Excellence.

Dental Rails — founder

I’m building Dental Rails to help dental practices understand what’s happening in the business and what needs attention. It brings together my work as a practice owner and my interest in software and automation.

Neocis — research & design consultant

Since 2023, I’ve consulted on research and design for Neocis, the company behind the Yomi robotic system for implant surgery. My work includes surgical workflows, dual-arch planning, and gesture and voice controls.

I also operate with Yomi in my own practice. Being both the consultant and the end user keeps the advice honest.

Plasmapp — research & design consultant

With Plasmapp, I test low-temperature plasma sterilization and contribute to research into the plasma activation of dental materials.

Photography

Wildlife and landscapes from my travels. The photographs are a record of what held my attention along the way.

Music

I was a producer for After The Smoke and have also produced for Johnny Polygon. Wallstreet is one of the tracks we made.

Collecting

I collect F.P. Journe watches and vintage guitars. What draws me in is how they were made: the mechanics, the history, and the decisions someone made at a bench long before I showed up.

Wildlife has my attention in a way little else does. I support conservation work, and when I travel it’s usually to see animals where they live.

I organized a dental mission trip to Zanzibar, where I treated patients with limited access to dental care. It recalibrated what I think of as a hard day at work.

Closer to home, I bring the surgical robot to schools — letting students drive the same technology we use in the operating room.
