I’m up at 3:45 a.m. every morning—not because I have to be, but because it’s how I train for life.
I’m 37 years old. I’m a dual-degree oral and maxillofacial surgeon. I’m a husband, a father of three, and the founder of Elite Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Oklahoma. But I’m also an athlete. A Spartan racer. A relentless student of strength, nutrition, discipline, and longevity.
And here’s why that matters for you—my patient, my team member, or my colleague:
Because when I take extreme ownership over my health, I show up as the best version of myself—for you.
🔬 Health-Driven Precision in Surgery
Being a surgeon is both mental and physical.
The focus required to perform complex surgeries—from All-on-4 dental implants to full arch reconstructions to trauma repairs—demands clarity. Precision. Steadiness. I’ve found that my physical training doesn’t just keep me strong—it keeps me sharp.
- Nutrition supports my energy, brain function, and reaction time.
- Daily training (running, lifting, Spartan-style intervals) improves endurance during long surgeries.
- Mental discipline helps me remain calm under pressure, focused when things don’t go to plan, and energized even after back-to-back cases.
Simply put, I train like a pro—so I can operate like one.
🧠 Why Patients Trust Fit Surgeons
Let’s be honest—people trust what they see.
When a patient comes to me scared about a procedure or unsure whether to take action, they often ask about recovery, discipline, and long-term health. And when I talk about nutrition, inflammation, healing, and taking charge of their wellness—I speak from experience.
I don’t just recommend healthier habits. I live them.
That creates trust. And it’s why my advice sticks.
“You clearly walk the walk, Doc. I believe you.”

💼 Why My Team Performs Better, Too
At Elite, we’re not just cutting-edge because of our tech. It’s because of our culture. And culture starts with the example I set.
- I arrive early. Energized. Ready to coach, not just cut.
- My team knows I’m consistent, calm, and positive—because that’s who I am outside the OR, too.
- We talk hydration, movement, mindset, not just surgical protocol.
- I encourage growth—in all areas.
That energy trickles down to our assistants, coordinators, nurses, and patients. A fit leader builds a focused team.
🏋️♂️ My Personal Rules for Peak Surgical Performance
- Train before the world wakes up.
3:45 AM sessions set my tone for the day—before surgeries even start. - Eat for clarity, not just calories.
Clean protein, water, greens, and minimal sugar = better brain and recovery power. - Embrace discomfort.
Spartan races, cold plunges, strict discipline—it makes stress management second nature. - Prioritize sleep.
8PM–4AM is sacred. Sleep is where recovery and mental edge happen.
Lead by example. Always.
My patients and my team deserve my best. That starts with taking care of me.
🔁 The Surgeon’s Cycle: Health ➝ Focus ➝ Performance ➝ Healing
Every detail I manage in my own health creates better results in the chair.
- Faster surgeries
- Lower complication rates
- More energy for patient education
- More empathy in the recovery process
- Better long-term results for full mouth restorations
🗣️ My Invitation to You
Whether you're a patient looking to improve your health, or a provider wanting to sharpen your edge, I encourage you to reflect on one question:
What would your performance look like if you treated your body like the most important tool in your profession?
That’s the philosophy I bring into every consult, every surgery, and every conversation.
🙌 Final Word
I don’t just want to be the most skilled oral surgeon in Oklahoma.
I want to be the strongest.
The sharpest.
The most focused.
And the most trustworthy.
Because my performance isn’t just about me.
It’s about you.
Let’s build something stronger—together.
