Personal Statement
I am a certified Athletic Trainer dedicated to helping athletes recover from injury and return to the sport they enjoy. My approach combines evidence-based rehabilitation with individualized care. I take pride in building trust with every athlete I work with, guiding them not only through recovery but also in learning how to stay healthy and perform at their best long-term.
Seeing an athlete successfully step back onto the field after putting in hours of hard work is what drives me in this profession.
My hobbies include following baseball and football, music, cooking and recreational sports.
My wife Victoria and I have a son named Daniel.
Clinical Interests
Upper extremity injury prevention and rehabilitation, the impact of sleep on human performance and mental health
