Education and Training

I attended American River Junior College in Sacramento, California, then went to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. After serving a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), I attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons (Now University of the Pacific) in San Francisco California. I graduated third person from the top of my class in 1966. My average score on the National Dental Boards was in the 92nd percentile. 

I passed the California State Dental Board and practiced in Pleasanton California for ten years, leaving there in 1966. After passing the New Mexico State Dental Examining Board, my family and I moved to Corrales, New Mexico in 1976. I have been practicing at my present location at 3613 NM HWY 528, suite G, Albuquerque for the last 33 years.

Professional Associations and Organizations 

I have been a member of the American Dental Association for forty-three years, and have been a member of the Albuquerque Dental Society for thirty-three years. I have also been a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, an organization that promotes continuing education in all areas of general dentistry, for over 25 years. I have been a member of the Academy of LDS Dentists, a service and educational organization, for 15 years.

Personal Interests and Activities 

I have been married to Joan A. Clark for forty-five years, and we have seven children, ages ranging from forty- three to twenty-seven years old. We have a home in Corrales where we have three goats, two dogs, two cats, two doves, and occasional skunks, roadrunners and farm-yard birds. I take care of ninety-one rose bushes (my babies), three other flower beds, and usually a vegetable garden.

I have been the executive director for the New Mexico Coalition Against Gambling, an organization of hundreds of churches, public interest organizations and businesses, for 16 years. I have served for eight years as the chairman of the board for Stop Predatory Gambling, a national coalition fighting predatory forms of gambling. I have been interviewed on dozens of TV and radio stations across the country on the subject of gambling, as well as dozens of local, regional and national newspapers and magazines, including US News and World Report, USA Today, Business Week Online and many others. The website for Stop Predatory Gambling, and it’s educational foundation are found on the web at www.stoppredatorygambling.org and www.spgfoundation.org.

Besides attending 3 flower beds and 91 rosebushes, I have a few other physical activities. I am a long-distance runner, having completed three official marathons in the last twenty-five years, plus lots of half-marathons and 10 kilometer races. I have a really gorgeous Mongoose IBOC mountain bike and have done a moderate amount of riding in a few states. I do some sail-boarding in lots of New Mexico's lakes and elsewhere. I probably also spend entirely too much time on the computer, and helped put this WEB site together.
