Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

In 2013, he married his lovely wife, Maria Santana in the Brigham City Temple. They now have a total of seven children. He served an LDS mission in Argentina, is fluent in Spanish, is an accomplished pianist, and enjoys woodworking, photography, model railroading, fly fishing, camping, backpacking, canoeing, skiing and playing the bassoon, among other hobbies. His most recent woodworking project was building a wood strip canoe, which he now enjoys using on Pineview Reservoir.
