Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Henry has always been a hard worker, and he never likes to just sit around and do nothing. So, before becoming a dentist, he owned and ran a business that focused on lawn irrigation.

Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Henry comes from a large family—he is the eighth of 11 children, so his parents named him Christopher Patrick Octavius Henry, and his siblings and patients simply call him “Tavi.” He is still close to his family and literally lives next door to his parents. They are all musical (Dr. Henry was actually a vocal performance major in college), so everyone likes to get together and play instruments. He enjoys restoring old cars and is currently working on a 1925 Model T Touring car and a 1965 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. You’ll often find him hiking and camping on the weekends as well, and he is also an avid wine enthusiast.
