Hi, I'm Dr. Riese. I was born and raised in Merrillville, Indiana. I attended IU Northwest and Indiana School of Dentistry where I received my DDS degree. My wife Jennifer and I moved to Monticello (Jennifer's hometown) in 1997 shortly after being married. I practiced as an associate up to 2006, at which time I purchased the practice.

We currently have six children. Living in Monticello, we have been involved in many activities such as church, school, and our great community. I enjoy reading mainly Christian non-fiction, pursuing and preserving America's Christian heritage, and just being a Dad.
