Background
Dr. Hawley grew up in sunny California and has always had a love for football, a good BBQ, and the great outdoors. His education took him and his family across the United States, and they’ve enjoyed getting to know so many parts of the country — and they’re super happy to now call the Omaha area home.
Education & Experience
Dr. Hawley received his bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and then earned his dental degree at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
He finished his training at the University of Kentucky (Go Cats!) where he completed a fellowship in craniofacial biology, a master’s degree in dentistry, and a residency in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
Achievements & Awards
During his years of training, Dr. Hawley was honored with multiple awards and recognitions including the Dean’s Leadership Award, the Student Excellence Award, the Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Academic Achievements, and the Henry M. Thornton Fellowship.
He’s authored seven articles in peer-reviewed journals and has given presentations at local, national, and international dental meetings. Last, but certainly not least, Dr. Hawley is an Eagle Scout and is still a Dentistry Merit Badge counselor.
Outside of the Office
Dr. Hawley lives in Gretna with his wife, Stacie, and their four beautiful (and very active) daughters. Having grown up surrounded by only sisters, and now as the father of only daughters, he’s become quite the expert on princesses and dance parties.
However, busting a move and being able to fashion a fancy crown out of household items aren’t his only talents. Dr. Hawley is also fluent in Spanish, which he perfected after serving a two-year mission in Paraguay.
