Before dentistry, Dr. Sparks held a variety of jobs—from working at Disney and ADP to the nostalgic days of Blockbuster Video. It was in his early 30s that he made the life-changing decision to pursue healthcare, ultimately choosing dentistry for its blend of creativity, work-life balance, and meaningful patient relationships. He believes dentistry offers a unique opportunity to not only improve people’s oral health but also to connect personally with patients and their families over time.

He shares life with his husband, a devoted preschool special education teacher, and together they’re excitedly awaiting the arrival of their first child—a baby girl due in August.
