BEST PART OF MY WORK:

Playing a significant role in improving the quality of people’s physical well-being. Being challenged daily with more complex diagnosis and the subsequent creation of a treatment program to solve the problem.

WHY I BECAME A PHYSICAL THERAPIST:

Injured shoulder playing college baseball and received inadequate care thus realizing I needed to learn how to help myself and ultimately others with the same problem. Involved in a head on motor vehicle accident; my knowledge base as a PT allows me to function without limitation.

HOW I SPEND MY FREE TIME:

Kids activities, skiing, following everyone up north on Friday nights.
