I married Peggy Lou Stucky of McPherson in 1972. She is a kindergarten teacher at Sunnyside School. I took over dental practice in Ashland Kansas from my brother Dr. Stephen Stein in 1982. I moved the practice to Dodge City in 2004 to 2005. I have been at present location (208 Ross Blvd) since 2005. I built a straw bale house (and still am) north of Dodge City. I play tennis, enjoy purple martins, trail building and gardening.

Goals: Provide the best services I can to my neighbors through dentistry, rotary club, church, and other groups. Support the new safety net dental clinic. Provide a good role model for my first grandson born in August 2010, support the children of this community and the world such as by being part of effort through Rotary to end polio forever, and being business partners with Sunnyside elementary and Ross elementary.
