Warren Bobinski started in the dental business with his father when he was about 6 years old.  His father worked for a well established supply house in Canada called Ash Temple.  His mother and father were divorced for many years, and Warren spent the summers and vacations driving all over Saskatchewan in his fathers car selling dental supplies and servicing equipment. His mother moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba where Warren completed high school.   After graduation from high school in 1983, Warren started a career as a produce clerk at Superstore.  About 9 months after graduation he thought this may be his future.  As a rebellious teen in school, Warren didn’t get the high marks necessary to pursue an academic career.  He was however a very ambitious young man!   His father invited him to join the family owned Dominion Dental Supply company in February of 1984.    Warren learned “everything dental” in his many decades in the business.  Constant improvement is a driving factor in his career.  His education involved learning everything about dental supplies, tearing apart dental equipment, understanding pneumatics, electronics.  He learned business.  Taking orders, inventory management, marketing.  Profit margins. Human resources.   Dominion Supply operated for a few years and eventually formed a partnership with Sinclair Dental when it was still owned by the Sinclair family.  This partnership existed until the business was purchased in the early 1990s by Dr. Arjang Nowtash.  Dr. Nowtash then bought out Warren’s father…and Warren decided to move on about a year later to a company called Arcona, which eventually was purchased by Henry Schein.   Over time, Warren has developed a large network in the dental business.  CEO of major manufacturers, top sales people, consultants…and even met with Dr. Howard Farran to discuss an app and electronic magazine!   https://www.henryschein.com/
