ABOUT ME
THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING THE SITE
My name is Jason Tierney, and like many of you, my path to this moment has been a strange one. Over the past 47 years, I’ve done a lot of stage dives at punk hardcore gigs and penned a book’s worth of dental journal articles. I created one of the premier conferences in dental sleep medicine and also developed an annual punk rock fest that people still trade stories about lifetimes later.
I’ve read shelves of books and written one. I was on a talk show and a game show; lost nearly 100 pounds and ran thousands of miles (and I will run thousands more); drank to the brink of oblivion and have lived the gift of sobriety for more than 15 years; and I’ve hosted a podcast and probably will again.
A child of St. Louis’s working-class South Side, I’ve lived in Scottsdale, AZ since 2015. I despise extremism but find the middle path elusive, and I frequently find my personal pendulum swinging to the poles. I’ve spent most of my life listening to punk hardcore, hip-hop, and Billy Joel, and the bulk of my career has focused on the field of dentistry – namely the areas of dental sleep medicine and TMJ treatment. From product inventor and magazine editor to software chief operations officer, all-around iconoclast, and entrepreneur, I’ve done it.
RUNNING IS
MY PASSION
DENTAL SLEEP
IS MY LIFE
PUGS ARE
MY FRIENDS
These opportunities have provided a masterclass in managing team dynamics, optimizing team potential, consultative selling processes, cross-functional leadership, marketing, product development, and simply stated – imagining gamechangers and aligning the teams and resources to make dreams reality.
I love pugs, Indian cuisine, Froggy Fresh videos, Scrabble, and my wife who owns one of the country’s most successful Dental Sleep Medicine practices.
My interests run the gamut as evidenced by my bookshelves and music collection. I’m ready to crystallize these varied passions into something that helps others find something new: new ways of thinking, new approaches to how you live, new bands, and new ways to practice – and I’m ready to explore these paths to discovery with you.
