He was an all-conference and all-region athlete and obtained academic excellence accolades yearly. Over the course of Dr. Abrahams's time at North Central College, he spent many hours observing his uncle, Dr. Clayton Parks, who is an orthodontist in Cedar Rapids.

After his graduation from The University of Iowa in 2016, Dr. Abraham dedicated his time to practicing in an under-served community in northern Wisconsin, where he grew in his skill set for treating a multitude of dental needs. Moving back to Iowa, Dr. Abraham desired to be closer to family who reside throughout Cedar Rapids.
In his free time, Dr. Abraham enjoys spending time with family and two adorable girls, watching the Chicago Cubs and Iowa Hawkeyes, playing the piano, traveling, and in his Bible study.
