My passion for health care stems from personal injuries and rehabilitation. These experiences help me relate to my patients and appreciate the impact pain and dysfunction have in their lives. I come to work each day feeling blessed to help my patients improve their quality of life and return to their sport or activity. My philosophy of care encourages patients to accept responsibility in their rehabilitation. I utilize a multi-faceted treatment approach and my goal is to return patients to their prior level of function quickly and safely. Experiences with collegiate athletics, professional football teams and runners throughout my career have molded me into the physical therapist and athletic trainer I am today. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my wife and children, as well as traveling, sports and the outdoors."
