Doctor Batesole was born and raised in Southern California and received his Bachelor of Science in Biology, from Pepperdine University, his Doctor of Dental Surgery from USC, and his Master of Science in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from Loma Linda University where he has been an Assistant Professor for the last 20 years.
"I spent my 20s in a book or in a lab. Once I graduated, I swore to never let life pass me by again." The 10 years of schooling it takes to become an orthodontist had a profound impact on Dr Batesole. He coupled his love of learning with a love for life. He's a pilot, scuba diver, surfer, motorcycle rider, mountain bike rider, avid snow skier and wakeboarder-- and you guessed it, programs computers in his spare time.
"I really feel very lucky that I get asked to speak all over the world, it's allowed me to see places and meet people I wouldn't be able to otherwise."
