Physical Therapist • Exercise Specialist

Biography

My life has revolved around playing sports and coaching individuals to return to their active interests.  I am a big kid at heart, everything has to be made into a game. Formal gym exercise has always been intimidating and boring to me, my goal is to make your workouts and experience with me fun, challenging, and educational.

I began my career working for the esteemed Steadman-Hawkins Clinic in Vail, Colorado. I spent 4 years learning from the best, treating and training high level clientele from all over the world. I’ve been in the Boston area for nearly 15 years, directing and managing several practices, striving to provide the best product in the market for my client’s health and wellness needs.

My Philosophy

My goal is to get people moving the RIGHT way. 

I take a whole body approach to your fitness and rehab vs. just treating/exercising your site of injury.  The root of the problem must be determined.  Your movement mechanics will be analyzed to determine limitations in mobility and/or stability, which will provide a roadmap for YOUR customized treatment and training program.  My intention is to coach and empower my clients to live active, healthy lifestyles, with minimal pain nor limitation.

Golf
Since the end of my baseball career, golf has taken taken over as my number one sporting passion.
