I was a very athletic kid; fitness has made me the black sheep in my family. I’ve been learning as much as I could about the human body as long as I can remember. Consequently, I’ve been helping take care of people in my family physically for years, whether it’s Diet advice, Massages, Diabetes, Rotator Cuff Injuries, Broken Ankles, Bone Spurs, Arthroscopy, Cerebral palsy, Strokes, falls, or End-of-life care. I’ve been there and seen it I never want health issues to ruin others’ lives.

I first started studying for physical therapy back in 2021, mid-COVID, and that gave me an odd view of the medical industry since it was such a unique time. I eventually decided to enter the program at Macomb in 2023 and met some fantastic people along the way, which looped me into the HealthQuest way of doing things. Mike from Pro-Kinetico, Nino, Blake, Caleb, and a guy in our class we just called the Admiral, helped me understand why HealthQuest was such a great choice.

I graduated in 2025 and decided I wanted to work with HealthQuest as a tech before becoming a PTA. I worked with Steve Rabaut as an exercise specialist for a year before getting my license and applying as a PTA.

Outside of the clinic, I like canoeing and camping. I also do weekly strength/cardio training at Planet Fitness. If you want in for free, just come as my guest; we’ll find you a day!
