Let's hear your origin story.
I grew up in Effingham, Illinois, and went to Indiana University.
I wanted to be an MD and took a job at a hospital; I shadowed with

You have one of the more unique practices out there.
You only have two chairs! (Which explains your Townie name,

desk in the front and patients in the back. Our operatories are large
and have doors that close, which is important for the privacy of
denture patients. Our main location is the largest and it contains
our central lab, where we fabricate the dentures for all our offices.
You're sort of a denture demigod in dentistry. You have
your own lab, lecture on the topic and, overall, gear your
practice on providing great prosthodontics. Why?
Definitely not a demigod! Dentures happened to me largely

really didn't enjoy working at that office-it was awful, but the
