I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy based in Bellingham, Washington having graduated with a  Doctorate degree from Indiana University and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Dayton. I am a certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, McKenzie Method and MyoKinesthetic System trained, Functional Range Conditioning Specialist, ASTYM certified, and proficient in manual therapies such as the Mulligan Mobilization Technique, spinal manipulation and Kinesio Taping. As a Soccer Injury Specialist, Certified Running Coach, and USA Olympic Weightlifting Coach I feel that I can offer the best specialized care to athletes of all ages and skill levels. I attempt to bring a holistic approach when treating my patients with an effort to fully optimize functional human movement.

I am an avid sports enthusiast and outdoor adventurer. I have played soccer through college, but since moving to Washington I have embraced the Pacific Northwest lifestyle. I, along with my wife Courtney, are avid campers, hikers, backpackers, and skiers. Now that I live in Bellingham I plan to increase my mountain biking experience as well!
