About Me

David, a fourth-generation Arizona native from the area, has always been passionate about sports and the great outdoors. He seamlessly blended his enthusiasm for martial arts and the mind-body connection with his love for strength training and conditioning and continues to devote time to those pursuits. After initially earning undergraduate degrees in both psychology and business from Arizona State University. David had an epiphany about his true calling – physical therapy. Determined to follow this path, he returned at ASU to complete the necessary coursework for PT school and ultimately graduated as a Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2023. David firmly believes in the remarkable potential of the human body. He sees it as a marvel, capable of healing, rebalancing, and regaining health and function. In his practice as a PT, David takes a whole-body approach that is centered on attentive and keen observation, working collaboratively with patients to help them achieve their goals and desired outcomes.

Outside the clinic, David enjoys spending time with his friends and family, traveling, exercising, playing recreational basketball, working on home projects, and learning about various topics from philosophy to astronomy. As an Arizona sports fan, he loves watching his Suns, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and Sun Devils play any chance he gets.
