I am originally from Minnesota but have been living in the area since 2020. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Saint Thomas in St. Paul, MN, and earned my DDS degree at Creighton University School of Dentistry, where I met my wife Jordan Hummelgard (maiden name Campbell). She was born and raised in Atchison, completed her undergraduate studies at Benedictine College, and is a dentist at the Atchison County Health Clinic. While attending dental school, I received multiple awards for implants, endodontics, and aesthetic dentistry. I know this is cliché, but as a dentist, I strive to treat my patients as if they were a family member of mine. Having said that, everyone is different and no mouth is the same, so I individualize each treatment according to the whole person. I love the communication and relationships that I build as a dentist. The best part is that I can do this with my neighbors. For the past three years, I have been practicing in St. Joseph and have now owned this practice since 2022.

Outside of the dental office, my wife Jordan and I are with our two kids Beckham (3.5 yo) and Jett (under 1 yo), and our dog Chip. I love being in the outdoors where I like to fish and go on walks. In addition to the outdoors, I am a big sports fan. Being from the Minneapolis area, I love my Minnesota sports teams. We haven’t had the success that many of the teams here have had over recent years, so it’s nice to be in an area where there are winning teams hosting parades. The red has already started rubbing off on me!
