When I graduated from high school, like so many other people, I had many interests but no clear direction for which career path I wanted to pursue. At the time, all I was sure about was that I was looking for a career that would challenge me, while also allowing me to make a positive difference in other people’s lives. It wasn’t until my second year of community college that one of my professors introduced me to the field of physical therapy and he believed it would be a good fit for me. I was very fortunate to be able to shadow some excellent therapists down at the Rehabilitation Institute in Detroit, and from there I was hooked.
It was in PT school where I was fortunate to meet Bill Knight, one of the founders of HealthQuest, and we have been great friends ever since. However, soon after graduating from PT school, I married my wife, Sherry. Shortly after, we decided to move to Atlanta, GA, which is where all 3 of our kids were born. Over those years, I watched Bill, Stuart, and Robb start and build the HealthQuest company it is today. I greatly admire their efforts and success! Then in 2008, we returned to Michigan, and I was thrilled to have joined the HealthQuest team. I am honored to continue the level of quality and dedication that they have brought to our growing communities and share in the effort to Help Others Live Life Well.
