Why did you become a chiropractor?
I wanted to do something in manual medicine. I was in multiple sports growing up and had my fair share of injuries. I had so much benefit from seeing a chiropractor and working with the athletic trainers as an athlete that I wanted to do the same for the people in my community one day.
If you could possess one super-hero power, what would it be?
I would possess the power of telepathy. Then, doing my charting would be much easier, and I would be able to empathize with patients even better.
What is your favorite meal?
Steak and Potatoes
What’s the one problem you’re best at solving for your patients?
I enjoy working with athletes, especially regarding weightlifting-induced lower back pain. This seems to be common, but with adjustments and some technique corrections it can be relieved
