Dr. King was raised in Beaverton, Oregon, in a family of five children. He took piano lessons for ten years and can still play a thing or two. Being active in the Boy Scouts of America provided opportunities to serve others and to have a lot of fun. Dr. King earned his Eagle Scout award and represented the Columbia Pacific Council in Australia for the 16^th World Jamboree.

Undergraduate studies were completed with a BS from Brigham Young University. Dr. King served a mission for his church in Portugal. After college came four years of study at Oregon Health and Sciences University School of Dentistry, where Dr. King graduated with Honors.

Dr. King and his wife Michelle met at church and were married in the year 2000. They now have four children, which means there is never a dull moment in the King household! Dr. King’s favorite part of the day is returning home to his family. They enjoy camping and family outings.
