Alec Simonson

Alec Simonson started dental school in August 2021 with the aim of mastering the art and science of dental medicine. He is currently a third-year Doctor of Dental Medicine degree candidate at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. Alec provides free dental care to underprivileged communities in Florida in his spare time.  

Alec is an avid pickleball player – this paddle or racket sport is played between two or four players and resembles both tennis and table tennis – and enjoys visiting local courts to play with friends. He’s a member of the UF Pickleball Club, which competes in tournaments held locally and throughout Florida. The club believes passionately in giving back to its local community and regularly hosts opportunities for members to be proactive through service. 

To relax, Alec enjoys road cycling and playing golf, as well as Italian and Japanese cuisine. He cites his favorite book as The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom.
