About Me
Brian grew up in Ahwatukee where he spent his time playing soccer, golf, and just being outside. He earned a Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science from Northern Arizona University (NAU) in 2017 where he spent his time exploring, hiking, and teaching group fitness classes such as boxing, spin, and TRX. After graduation, Brian moved back to Phoenix where he attended NAU’s DPT program at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. During his clinical rotations he gained a passion for treating outpatient orthopedics and using manual skills in combination with functional movement rehab. During his rotation at the Spooner Ahwatukee clinic, he learned a lot about what it means to be a part of the Spooner Family and fell in love with the overall beliefs of patient care. Brian is excited to treat all patient populations and create patient specific plans to get people back to doing what they love. As a member of the Spooner Sports Medicine Team, he enjoys treating all athletes as well as being a part of the Red Mountain High School Sports Medicine and Strength Staff.
Outside of the clinic, Brian spends time adventuring with his wife, Teresa, and their mini golden doodle, Tucker. He loves to play golf, explore National Parks and have games nights with family and friends. He and Teresa built a house in Queen Creek and love living in the ever-growing east valley.
