Dr. Hawthorne began his post-secondary education here in Vernon at the college, followed by a year in Kelowna at Okanagan College. He then attended UBC where he graduated in 1991 with his B.Sc. in Animal Biology. He was accepted into the Faculty of Dentistry, again at UBC and graduated with his D.M.D in 1995.

He then moved back to Vernon to begin his career. Dr. Hawthorne associated with Dr. Clark and Dr. Burnham, before purchasing Dr. Burnham's dental practice in 1996. In 2001, Dr. Hawthorne moved the practice from downtown to their current location in the Cornerstone Dental Building on 27th Street.
