I am a new graduate physical therapist with special interests in orthopedic care, sports medicine, and pelvic health. As a student, I was able to receive specialized instruction in both pelvic health and sports medicine rehabilitation, and I have retained those interests. I am passionate about delivering quality, holistic care to all patients under our care. I spend my time outside of the clinic working as an adjunct professor for the physical therapy department at Mount Union, working out, playing recreational sports, watching rugby, and spending time with my wife and our dogs.
