About

Texas-born and raised, I earned my degree from Baylor University before completing dental school at UT School of Dentistry. I went on to complete my pediatric dentistry residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center — and a few years into practice, I found a growing passion for orthodontics, which led me to pursue an additional residency at A.T. Still University. I've walked the exact path you're on now: dental school, Match, residency (twice), and everything in between. Here's what working together can look like: Mock interviews so the real thing feels natural and unforced Interview social coaching — tips for interactions and things to avoid Program decision-help you rank with confidence and talk through your thought process Match vs. Non-Match strategy, explained clearly and personalized to your situation Exclusive access to my personal interview question bank — built from every interview I've done, from dental school through both my peds and ortho residencies Whatever stage you're at, I'll tailor every session to exactly what you need to reach your goal.

Eric’s Dental Residency Qualifications

70+ Dental Residency clients

With extensive experience in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, I have served on the admissions committees at both A.T. Still University and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, giving me unique insights into the dental residency application process. As a practicing pediatric dentist-orthodontist and former resident in two separate programs, I understand the challenges and expectations of dental residency programs. Over the years, I've successfully coached multiple aspiring candidates, helping them navigate their applications and interviews to secure spots in competitive residency programs. Whether you need guidance on personal statements, interview preparation, or application strategy, I'm here to help you achieve your residency goals. Let's connect and craft a plan tailored to your success!

Why do I coach?

Over the years, I've served on admissions committees, led summer mentorship programs, and provided one-on-one coaching to students navigating the exact challenges you're facing now. I coach and mentor others because I've been on the receiving end of it myself — and I know firsthand how much it matters. Having someone in your corner to guide you, offer perspective, and champion your success makes a big difference!
