About Me:
As an ex-collegiate runner I understand the frustration associated with being unable to participate in activities that bring enjoyment, from running a marathon to walking a dog, because of pain or other functional limitations. I enjoy working with everyone from high school and collegiate athletes to post-operative patients, with a goal of reducing pain and achieving return to full functionality for everyone.
In my free time I enjoy running, weight training and supporting the Sun Devils and Arizona Cardinals.
