Why EPIC4?
Faith, family, friends has always been my order of the day every day. EPIC4 has taken my colleagues who were friends and made them family. In life, where personal and professional change and challenge is the norm, that connection with family has proven time and time again an invaluable support system. EPIC4 has formalized that relationship for all to see and join in with and I am excited to be a part of that foundation now and into the future. For me that future additionally includes a daughter in dental school and her eye on specializing. EPIC4 creates a legacy for her to carry on that ensures a bright, prosperous, and balanced career.
Fun Fact
Living on Lake Erie, boating is a passion, and having traveled by boat to all 5 great lakes I can confirm that while each is amazing Lake Erie is tops (no bias here).
