His passion for both dentistry and technology came together when he joined a group of scientists
from MIT 3 years ago, to help grow Overjet into a company that is helping to shape the future of

FDA clearance for its Dental Assist Al product and has been named one of the top 100 Al startup

clinicians at both statewide and national dental meetings throughout 2020 and 2021. His work
with cutting-edge dental Al and his team of machine learning scientists at Overjet provides him
insight into the power of this technology that few others have visibility to at the moment and he
is passionate about educating his college on the impact it will have for patients, providers and
practices.
