PT, MPT, OCS
Sterling Heights, Owner & Director

I grew up in Sterling Heights, about 3 miles from my office and attended Stevenson high school.  I injured my ankle playing football at Stevenson – introducing me to the field of sports medicine and rehabilitation.  Now I enjoy treating athletes from the local high schools.  My interest in helping athletes prompted me to earn Board Certification as an orthopedic physical therapist in 1999 and I have recertified 2 times now; each good for 10 years.  I have a deep passion for learning and providing the most up to date treatments.  I have participated in dozens of continuing education programs and recently started teaching at Macomb’s PT Assistant program.  Outside of work I am devoted to my wife and children and to outdoor activities of all stripes.  I merged my practice with Health Quest in 2021 because we share a passion for putting patients first and providing the highest level of care possible to our patients, friends and family.
