Why Dental?

What is your role?

Founder & CEO. I am responsible for the relationships we built here at F1 iT, as it is ultimately our primary focus

How long have you worked at F1 iT?

I started F1 iT, officially, in January of  2012. However, I’ve been working as an IT consultant in the dental industry since 2003.

What do you enjoy most about your role?

I enjoy meeting new dentists and their teams, taking time to understand their issues and providing solutions that ultimately help grow their practice, appreciating where they are on their journey and the budget available to them.

What do you think are the most important qualities for success in your role?

By nature, I enjoy challenging myself and finding out how things work. That frequently takes its form in technology, but also with carpentry, fixing my car, etc.

What sets F1 iT apart from other IT support companies?

We take the time to truly understand the issues that dental practitioners face. Beyond just IT services, we perform comprehensive strategic business reviews, where we become more of a virtual CIO for the practice. We become a critical extension of the team, not just an IT company. Additionally, we provide non-typical IT services like compliance management and digital marketing. Like dentists encouraging their patients to get regular cleanings, our mantra is that it’s always better and more economical to be proactive than reactive.

What do you consider to be your biggest achievement while working at F1 iT?

I’m really proud of building the sizable team that we have and the recognition within the dental industry. I’m often reminded of it during our all-hands team meetings.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?

Be humble and open to suggestions. Surround yourself with people who encourage and challenge you to be better. “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room”.

What hobbies or interests do you enjoy outside of work?

My wife and I are obsessed with travel and collecting experiences. We’ve created an online community where we share our experiences, so that we can remember them and encourage others to do the same.

What's your favorite food or restaurant in the area?

I LOVE food, so it’s certainly hard to choose. Crab and steak has to be up in the top 5. There’s a place down the road called “Sexy Crab”, all you can eat!

What's a fun fact about yourself that most people don't know?

I love riding motorcycles. The freedom you feel and the potential speed- there’s nothing like it.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?

Growing up, I was surrounded by jet fighters (my dad worked for Grumman). I’m pretty obsessed with flight, so I’d love to fly on my own (no plane).
