Friends,

I want to thank you for taking the time to let me share a little bit about myself.

Some of you may know already me as your dentist, or the guy with the cows next door.  Or maybe I worked on the Klondike Fire or Mendicino Complex fire.

Well, I am a dentist by training, but I’ve recently limited my practice to hospital-based dental care.  This has left me more time to spend lately with my ranch and small business. Beyond ranching, I also operate a heavy equipment company that I started in 2009.
