Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Engel Family Dentistry is a dental practice serving the families of Folsom and surrounding areas. I grew up always talking about wanting to be a dentist. I’ve worked in several other fields doing many different things and know that I love being a dentist.

What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience?

My first job was a paperboy, back when paperboys went door-to-door collecting people’s money for the subscriptions. I learned how to talk to people and work hard.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

My staff is the best in the business because we love people, love what we do, and we’re good at it.

What’s your hidden talent?

I enjoy writing and embellishing – taking a “normal story” and making it more interesting.

What’s your biggest job perk?

Meeting people and getting to know them and their families.

Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?

We like the movies and the area lakes and rivers. We also like to shop at various stores.

What’s your favorite local business other than your own?

My hat goes off to all the local businesses that are creating jobs, strengthening the economy and supporting the American Dream.

If you could be any other profession what would it be?

There really aren’t any. I’ve worked in too many other industries, and I really love being a dentist.

And finally, customer service is…?

Knowing what people need and want and giving it to them…and then some.
