So where can I be found when not peering into someone’s mouth to examine my work? Most likely spending time with my wife, Lizabeth, my son Gavin, and our two dogs Abby and Bella (both Boxers) at Zilker Park. Either that or traveling, running, swimming, biking, cycling, or listening to music––particularly Radiohead or Led Zeppelin. To copy Stanton, if I had to choose a different profession, I’d be a river ecologist. What else….? My favorite foods are French fries and Mexican food (preferably from Polvos), my favorite television show is The Simpsons, and if you were wondering about my favorite time of year (you were?!), it’s SXSW week, because I can roam around the city with my family and enjoy the best of what Austin is.
Oh! One more thing. My favorite car? 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser
