motivation, because that is temporary
and will vary based on your mood.
Habits, once reinforced for a relatively
short period, will continue to work
almost autonomously when motivation
runs out, and are ultimately
the most effective way to reach your
personal and professional goals.
Tell us about the Mother of Pearls
Conference and its growth.
Online study groups are amazing, but
there's one key component missing:
in-person connection. Six years ago,
the Orthodontic Pearls administrators
and I began hosting the Mother
of Pearls Conference, a live CE event.
This year's conference, planned for
Oct. 10-12 in Scottsdale, Arizona,
will feature 24 speakers, 50-plus
exhibitors and a social event featuring
the world's only all-orthodontist
band, Relapse.
Speaking of Relapse ...
you're a part of it!
I am, along with some other orthodontists
who were members of the
Orthodontic Pearls Facebook study
group. We played our first show at the
2018 Mother of Pearls Conference, and
much to our surprise, the audience
enjoyed it so much they shouted for an
encore! Since then, the band has been
invited to perform at three or four
orthodontic events every year, including
Invisalign's 25th anniversary gala,
and we recently headlined the AAO
Annual Session in a sports arena for
6,500 colleagues. Relapse is currently
being considered for international
conferences in Spain and China!
[Editor's note: To learn more about
Relapse, turn to p. 40.]
How did you find your way
into orthodontics?
Orthodontics has been a dream for
me since I was a young boy. I had my
teeth straightened by an orthodontist
and thought, " How do they make my
teeth move like that?! " I love seeing the
excitement of patients getting their
braces off, and I still remember what
it felt like to have my crooked smile-
which kids used to tease me about-
become what my friends have referred
to as a " million-dollar smile. " I wanted
to bring that joy I felt to others in
hopes that it would change their lives
in the way it changed mine.

Give us a snapshot of your life
outside of orthodontics.
My greatest joy comes from spending
time with my wife and our four kids,
Blake, Ava, Luke and Austin. We enjoy
spending time with our friends, going
out to eat or playing a game of pickleball.
I serve and play guitar at my local
church twice a month.
Over the past year, I also committed
to a rigorous weightlifting and clean
macro-based nutrition plan, and have
won two men's physique competition
divisions! I'm grateful for the experience,
and plan to continue a lifelong
journey of health and happiness. OT
