I grew up on a farm near Ridgeway in northern Missouri. After graduating from high school in 1978 he attended the University of Missouri in Columbia where he graduated with a BS in Animal Science. He then spent two years living in Spain tutoring the children of Southern Baptist missionaries.
After returning home he moved to Lawton OK where his sister and brother-in-law was living and attended Cameron University where he finished courses required to apply to the Oklahoma College of Dentistry.
In 1989 he started dental school in Oklahoma City. After the first year in dental school he was fortunate to be hired by Drs. Keso and Felton to work part time in their orthodontic practice making retainers, trimming models and tracing cephalometric x-rays. As graduation from dental school approached, he was accepted to the orthodontic residency program at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from Baylor, he briefly joined a practice in Norman, Oklahoma as an associate before moving back to Lawton where he started his orthodontic practice in 1996.
He sold his practice at the end of 2021 and practiced there until December of 2022. He moved to Edmond in July of 2022 and joined Orthodontic Specialists of Oklahoma where he continues to work. In August of 2023 he started working at the Oklahoma College of Dentistry as the course director for the predoctoral orthodontic classes.
Dr. Reeder met and married his wife Terri during dental school in Oklahoma City. He has three daughters and three sons-in-law and one grandchild.
