Fun Facts

I was the first Sports Physical Therapy Resident to complete The Ohio State University Sports Medicine Sports Physical Therapy Residency .  This program is currently 1 of only 8 in the nation.  Currently, I practice sports physical therapy at The Ohio State Sports Medicine Center, am on faculty for both the Sports and Orthopaedic Residencies, am a research assistant in the Human Performance Laboratory, as well as instruct in the doctor of physical therapy program.  This unique combination of activities and opportunities has allowed me to better facilitate a bridge from classroom instruction to “real-world” and expert level clinical practice.  On a more personal note, my wife and I just built and moved into a new house and are expecting our first baby this upcoming Halloween.  I also enjoy endurance events such as triathlons, cycling, and road racing events and generally being physically active and outside.
