I entered this amazing profession on crutches. Yes, I too was a patient. During my senior year of high school, I injured my knee playing volleyball and it required surgery. Shortly thereafter I found my way into a physical therapy clinic, and so the story begins.

I continued my volleyball career at California Baptist University. Where I was a member of the 1999 National Champion Men's Volleyball Team. I graduated from California Baptist University in 2001 with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesciology emphasizing in Athletic Training and Exercise Science. I graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Later that same year I began the Master of Physical Therapy program at Nova Southeastern University. I was honored to be selected for three specialized internships: 1. Jackson Memorial Hospital's Neuro-Surgical Unit, 2. Nova Southeastern's Manual Therapy Clinic, 3. Health South Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. I graduated at the top of my class in 2003.

Since then I returned home to Southern California to begin my practice. I have had the opportunity to work with elite professional athletes, be a part of the U.S. Olympic Gymnastic Trials medical team, AVP medical team, and The Pacific Shoreline medical team. I also became an adjunct professor at Concordia University in 2004. Where I teach in the Exercise Science department.
