What I Do
I believe in building strong relationships with patients where they feel comfortable and open to communication, allowing for individualized and effective care. I enjoy incorporating manual therapy (a hands-on physical therapy technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction) alongside exercise to help promote optimal recovery. My clinical interests are sports rehabilitation and general orthopedic care.
Why I Love My Work
Growing up, my mother’s passion for health and wellness inspired my curiosity about the human body and the importance of active living. Being part of a large, sports-oriented family, I witnessed firsthand the challenges of injuries and the process of recovery, which sparked my interest in understanding the musculoskeletal system. My own experience with surgery and rehabilitation deepened this appreciation.
Getting to Know Me
My personal interests include spending time with my wife and child, as well as playing sports such as hockey and golf. A unique fact about me is that I grew up in a small town in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where we received more than 200 inches of snow each year.
