I grew up in Durango, Colorado playing basketball, skiing, rafting, and mountain biking. My long list of injuries is one of the reasons I became a Certified Athletic Trainer in June of 2000. I attended undergraduate school at Fort Lewis College, studying Exercise Science/Athletic Training. In 2001, I obtained my master’s degree in Sports and Athletic Administration at Gonzaga University. While at Gonzaga, I had the opportunity to care for the student-athletes and their injuries. In 2003, I started working at the University of Puget Sound with all of the collegiate sports teams. In 2005 I returned to Colorado working for Regis University as an Assistant Athletic Trainer.
I received the opportunity of a lifetime in 2010 when I became part of the US Fencing Sports Medicine Staff. I continue to help the US Fencing team often with both domestic and international events. This experience allows me to work with Olympic, youth, wheelchair, and veteran athletes. In 2016, I graduated from chiropractic school at Southern California University of Health Sciences in Whittier, California. After school, I stayed in California for my chiropractic postceptorship and worked as a chiropractor before moving to Florida in July 2017.
