Jay feels that monthly feedback to team members on how the office is performing is important. Hands-on training of individuals is directed to helping each achieve their highest potential. Also, Jay’s expertise is in bringing a values-centered approach to the team. He helps the dentist and team identify their core values and then helps them find ways to communicate these values to their clients. He stresses highly individualistic relationships between the team members as well as between the team and clients. Consequently, the client’s perception of value is not based solely on fee.

In his spare time, Jay loves to take pictures. He got his start in the army where he discovered the magic of black and white photography in the darkroom. Jay’s idea of a great time is for he and his wife, Carol, to get in the car, camera in the back seat, and just go for a weekend. The only rule they have is that they avoid paved roads. No maps are allowed. If they get lost, all the better! Southeastern Minnesota is a great haunt of theirs.  Jay resides in Apple Valley, MN with his wife, Carol, and their Brittney Spaniel, Lucy.
