Meet Our Dental Team!

Hello, my name is Craig. I am one of the laboratory technicians at Harborside Dental. I have been employed at Harborside Dental for 43 years. I grew up in Reed City, Michigan. Upon graduating from high school, I attended and graduated from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan with an Applied Associates of Science degree with Distinction. I am certified in Pressable and Poly Ceramic restorations. I also have several years experience in Cad Cam Milling and Design.

I am a life long member of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. I have been married to my wife, Jeanie for 37 years. We have two daughters, two grandsons and one granddaughter. My favorite past time is spending time with my family.

Hi! My name is Kelly I work in the front office at Harborside Dental as the scheduling coordinator. I Have worked for Dr. Kozelko since September 2001. Some of my responsibilities include answering the phone, scheduling appointments, doing financial arrangements, greeting patients, and some miscellaneous “behind the scenes” tasks. I love what I do here at Harborside Dental! I work with a great team of co-workers.

One of the greatest rewards of my job is building relationships with our patients and helping them to achieve and maintain excellent dental health. It is very rewarding knowing that our patients leave our office with quality dental work.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband Rob, my cat Bubs and my dog Scarlett. They keep us very entertained and busy! Some of my hobbies include going to the beach, traveling, reading, and being with family and friends.

Hello! I’m Catherine and I’m very excited to be part of the team here at Harborside Dental. I became part of the staff here in September of 2011, as the Business Manager. I have finally found “my home”.

I started working in the dental field in 1997 and truly enjoy the satisfaction it brings. I look forward to meeting you and helping with any of your insurance and/or billing needs.

I am a native to the Traverse City area and enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, gardening and many other outdoor activities that the area and four seasons bring us.

Thank you for making us part of your dental health care.

Hi, My name is Linda. I am the Hygiene Coordinator. I am so thankful to be here and look forward to meeting all of you.

I have lived in Traverse City for most of my life. I am married and have 2 beautiful daughters, one son in law and 1 dog, Stanley. In my spare time I love to be outdoors walking the dogs, entertaining and spending time with family.

Our family has been very involved with the Cherry festival for many years. We truly enjoy the event and look forward to it every year.

Hello, my name is Diane. I am a Registered Dental Assistant at Harborside Dental. I’ve lived in the beautiful Grand Traverse Region for most of my life and graduated from Traverse City Senior High School. (Before it was known as “Central”!) I received an Associates Degree from NMC after completing the Dental Assisting Program. Having worked in the dental field since 1995, I became employed by Dr. Kozelko in July 2007. This has been a wonderful employment opportunity for me in a very “TEAM” oriented atmosphere. Dr. Kozelko, Dr. Krull and the staff here truly care about each individual patient’s needs and we work hard to make our patients look and feel great.

I have always had a passion for the Lab side of Dentistry and in 2022 I had the opportunity to train under our very talented Lab technicians and now I work mainly in our “In House Lab”. I fabricate Dentures, Partial Dentures, and appliances.

I have two grown children, a daughter in law, and three grown step-children with my husband Dave. I also have a grandson and a dog named JezziBelle. In our spare time, we enjoy rock-hunting, bike riding, camping, and metal detecting.

I look forward to meeting you soon and assisting with all of your dental needs here at Harborside Dental.
