President, CEO; Triagenics
From 1995 through 2015 Dr. Colby was the founder, CEO and sole shareholder of Oregon Dental Care, a successful group dental practice in Oregon that delivers high quality patient care in a zero defect operating environment. Oregon Dental Care was acquired by InterDent in late 2015 where he served as the Managing Clinical Director. Prior to starting Oregon Dental Care in 1995 Dr. Colby was involved with three high-tech startups that all remain in successful operation today. In 1980 he was the principal founder of Laserdyne Corporation and wrote the ground-breaking specifications for the successful high-resolution Beam Director general-purpose CNC laser machining system. The Beam Director system remains the #1 selling general-purpose laser machining system worldwide. In 1984 he assisted the PhD EE founder of Cyberoptics Corporation in defining their initial product specifications and market applications to establish initial distribution channels for their unique high resolution, non-contact laser gauging and automated inspection products. Dr. Colby worked with CyberOptics to develop and implement a marketing plan which drove initial product sales, and propelled them to a market leader, where they remain today. In 1986 Dr. Colby teamed up with three PhD-level biochemists as their Vice President of Marketing to define and establish their first commercial operations for Surmodics, Inc. His 10-year effort at Surmodics ultimately resulted in revenues approaching $100M annually for the use of PhotoLink high-reliability biocompatibility enhancement technology on a variety of widely recognized implant and disposable medical devices. Surmodics remains a publicly traded operation. Dr. Colby graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 1980, has earned his M.B.A. degree from Northwest Christian University, D.D.S. and B.S. degrees from the University of Minnesota, B.S. degree from St. John’s University and is a certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt.
