Community Involvement:
Although I am from Ahwatukee, Queen Creek and Mesa Gateway have become my second home. I am eager to get involved with my new community and plan to support local athletics as well as continue to grow our relationships with Crismon High School, Red Mountain High School and other local groups.

About Me:
I grew up in Ahwatukee where I spent my time playing soccer, golf and just being outside. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science from NAU in 2017 where I spent my time exploring, hiking, and teaching group fitness classes such as boxing, spin, and TRX. After graduation I moved back to Phoenix where I attended NAUs DPT program at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. During my clinical rotations I gained a passion for treating outpatient orthopedics and using manual skills in combination with functional movement rehab. In my last rotation at the Spooner Ahwatukee location I learned a lot about what it means to be a part of the Spooner Family and fell in love with our overall beliefs of patient care. I am excited to treat all patient populations and create patient specific plans to get people back to doing what they love. As a member of our Spooner Sports Medicine Team, I enjoy treating all athletes as well as being a part of the RMHS Sports Medicine and Strength Staff.

Outside the Clinic:
Outside of the clinic I spend my time adventuring with my wife Teresa and our mini golden doodle Tucker. I love to play golf, explore National Parks and have games nights with family and friends. Teresa and I built a house in Queen Creek and love living in the ever-growing east valley.
