I was born in Sacramento, but grew up traveling all across the U.S, and have lived several places, including Costa Rica and the Amazon River in Peru. I played high school baseball, basketball, and volleyball.

After over a decade of experience as a personal trainer, I decided to pursue a career in physical therapy. As a personal trainer, I worked with a lot of athletes and helped them improve their strength and performance. However, I became increasingly passionate about helping them return to the field, which drew me to physical therapy.

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy hunting, fishing, watching sports, selling sports trading cards, and spending time with my wife, Megan.
