I graduated from Howard University, College of Dentistry Class of 1988 and subsequently completed my post-graduate general practice residency at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. My wife and I are 30+ year owners and clinical practitioners of a general dentistry practicing in Sacramento, California.
I am a life member of the Tripartite (ADA, CDA and SDDS). I served as President of the Sacramento District Dental Society (SDDS) and was a Board member of the California Dental Association (CDA). I have served in several leadership roles over the years; however, the following are relevant to this presentation.
I am currently completing my term as a member of the ADA Council on Dental Benefit Programs (CDBP). During my term on the Council, I have served on the Code Maintenance Committee (CMC) and the Coding and Transactions Subcommittee (CATS).
I served as Chair of the Code Maintenance Committee's Ad-Hoc Anesthesia Workgroup which played a pivotal role in developing the 2026 CDT suite of anesthesia codes.
I also served on the CDBP's 2025 Policy Review Ad-Hoc Subcommittee.
