I love spending time with my family, reading, cooking Korean food, hiking in the great outdoors and I’m kind of a farm geek although I do not have one.

Funniest/Most Memorable and/or Most Interesting Moment Experienced in Dentistry:
I taught at the University of Louisvlle School of Dentistry for 7 years.  I loved the relationships I built there and enjoyed sharing those things that I am passionate about including special needs patients with handicaps.  One of my former students came to me recently and shared that he and his wife (also my student) have a 2 year old little boy with Down Syndrome.  He said he and his wife shared remembering my lecture on Down Syndrome in dental school and how I told them they were my favorite patients and how happy and joyful and pure spirited they are.  He said that he and his wife appreciated me planting that thought in their mind all those years ago because having their son with special needs has been the most joyous blessing of their lives.  Wow!  Touched me to the core.
