The short version

A speaker who still practices.

I've delivered hundreds of lectures and workshops across six continents over the last 30+ years — Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania (most recently New Zealand). Topics: digital dentistry, clinical photography, color science, CEREC, AI in dentistry, workflow integration.

I lecture as a clinician who still works full-time. What I teach is what I did this morning.

I edited the International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry for sixteen years. I'm an ITI Fellow and a past President of the Neue Gruppe (2010/11). I co-authored the 1st and 2nd editions of Fundamentals of Color.

If you want a speaker who reads slides — there are plenty. If you want one who teaches what actually works in a practice on Monday morning — that's why we should talk.
