Medical Areas of Interest:

My primary focus as a sports therapist has been extremities: knees, shoulders, ankles, feet. As a participant in several sports in high school and college, I’ve experienced many of the injuries I now treat. After running regularly for (too) many years, I have recently developed an interest in cycling, and have been increasing my knowledge and expertise in cycling injuries and bicycle fitting.

Personal:

Running, cycling, music, and a variety of sports (see above). Raising a young boy and girl (with the invaluable assistance of a great wife).
