In 2016, just 10 years after graduating from dental school, I came home from the office at Wood River Dental Care and boldly declared to my wife that I was done with dentistry. We were to sell everything we owned and move to Tonga. She thought I was exaggerating. I was like, #kiddingnotkidding.

 

I worked with consultants, coaches, and any other dental group you can imagine but I just couldn’t find the community where I belonged.

​

on the surface I was already successful, so what was I missing? Why was I still frustrated?

​

Like the majority of dentists out there, I had already found a certain degree of success. But it was hollow. It was without significance. How was I then to design a life of both success and significance? And that is how the Elevation Association (EA) was born. EA was created to provide a community, a tribe that unites dentists to work together to elevate their practice so they can elevate their life.

​

It’s time to resist the seduction of the short-lived, bright and shiny lures of the DSO. Their siren songs of unimaginable wealth are alluring on the surface but ultimately deceptive, dangerous, and potentially destructive. Join EA instead and let’s work together to

elevate your practice and elevate your life.
