“I like to work with all ages of patients and find satisfaction learning from all generations. It really gets fun when you have an older patient motivating and pushing a younger teen.”

“I have a lovely wife and we are blessed with two beautiful daughters. I have a passion for running and achieved one of my life-long goals by running the Boston marathon in 2000. I enjoy tennis, hiking, skiing and most other outdoor activities. Being a homeowner has baptized me into “do-it-yourself” carpentry and I have learned many tips. One is that you need the right tool to get the job done right (at least that’s what I tell my wife to justify buying another tool).”

“I like to say that I treat people first, injuries second. When I understand the end-goal of a client, I am able to personalize the care for their injury and lifestyle and help them achieve better, faster results!”

“I did my physical therapy training in Massachusetts and also met, dated, courted and married my wife, Mary while in school! It took us a while (we’ve lived in 7 states) to get back to Washington where she is from. We have 4 kids and keep busy with scouts, swimming, camping, climbing biking, hiking and all the other great things there are to enjoy in Washington State!”

“I have lived in Florida most of my life so coming to the PNW was definitely a big change (and weather change too!). I enjoy working out when I can, and I also enjoy reading books during my off days.”
