I was born and have lived in Hardy, Arkansas my entire life. I graduated from Highland School in 1975. I have a degree in elementary and physical education from Arkansas State University in 1992.

I have always been interested in physical health. I believe that all people have a purpose in life and I feel mine was to promote physical health and that is what I have tried to do.

About 20 years ago while I was in collage. A thought crossed my mind that would be nice if I could brush my teeth after lunch because all I ever heard was you need to brush your teeth three times a day or after you eat but the opportunity wasn't available.

I spent the next 20 years thinking about the idea every once in a while, but I didn't pursue it fully until about two years ago. I decided to make this idea a reality.

I believe that every person should have the chance to brush their teeth after they eat. I hope to provide that opportunity in an inexpensive & convenient way offering the chance to have a mini pre-pasted disposable toothbrush that would create N-STA-SMILE that would last the rest of the day! Maybe just maybe I have found that small contribution or purpose in life.
