"Because of my background in resident leadership in AAOMS, two surgeons encouraged me to join the IAOMS and participate in the NextGen Council. Over the coming years, I expect that trainees from across the globe will recognize that membership in the IAOMS and the NextGen Council are an indispensable component of their training and professional development."

“To be an extraordinary surgeon we have to train and practice our surgical skills. A small contribution can help surgeons gain good surgical skills and knowledge which could help save someone’s life. The IAOMS Foundation has the power to spread the message for those surgeons and to remind us of the importance of sharing the knowledge and helping the community. When I learned about the role of the Foundation in developing countries, I wanted to be part of that charity work.”

“Because I represent JSOMS and the Asian AOMS and because I am an IAOMS ‘ambassador,’ I encourage my Asian colleagues to support the important work of the Foundation. As a member of the IAOMS Executive Committee, I feel I have a responsibility to support the IAOMS Foundation and its training programs for the next generation of OMF surgeons. The IAOMS Foundation's lectures and unique training programs are critical to educating the next generation of OMF surgeons.”

“I have been involved in OMF cranio-facial surgery arena for about 30 years. After I retired, if there was still a way for me to contribute, I would be happy to contribute and that’s when Larry Nissen asked if I would consider joining the Board. Oral surgery has been good to my family so I’m just giving a small piece back. It’s important to me that I give my time and also contribute. I believe what the Foundation is doing in the U.S. and more importantly, throughout the world. Every single person in the world probably should see an oral surgeon sometime in their life – and the opportunity isn’t always there.”
