I was diagnosed with Little Leaguer’s Elbow in 2006 at 10 years old, which crossed my path with a man named Ed Martel (one of HealthQuest’s owners). We rehabilitated my arm and Ed became my pitching coach for the rest of my baseball career keeping me healthy and on the field through youth, high school, and college baseball. I also was surrounded by many great therapists such as Ryan Vinson, Julie Martel, Mike Pizzimenti, and many others who inspired me to follow a similar path. Upon concluding my baseball career and graduating with a degree in Exercise Sports Science in 2018. I attended Oakland University and graduated with my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2022.
