Philosophy of care: I have been a physical therapist at Bellin Health Sports Medicine since the beginning of 2006. My general clinical caseload consists of a variety of orthopedic conditions involving all of the joints of the body and the spine. My specialty at this clinic is the vestibular rehabilitation program. This involves treating a variety of conditions involving vertigo, dizziness, unsteadiness, poor balance, and falls as they relate to the vestibular system (inner ear). I enjoy educating the community about these conditions to help prevent future falls especially involving the elderly population.
Education:
Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy from Carroll College 2005
Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Carroll College 2003

Currently pursuing certification as a vestibular rehabilitation specialist from the American Physical Therapy Association
Certified Sportsmetrics Instructor; a program designed to prevent knee injuries in male and female athletes, 2005 to present
Personal Information:When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter, biking, running, golfing, playing basketball, and playing tennis.
