ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX and graduated from Nolan Catholic High School and University of Texas in Arlington with a bachelors in Biology. I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) from University of Mary and have special certifications: Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to better diagnose movement limitations, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) to apply safe and effective strength training and conditioning programs for my patients, LSVT BIG to improve Parkinson movement dysfunction. I have special interest and clinical experience in treating active people of all ages dealing with musculoskeletal and neurological conditions that want to reach their goals of returning to their hobbies and sport. I use manual therapy for effective rehabilitation and now working towards completing fellowship in manual therapy through Institute for Athlete Regeneration.
In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, volleyball, tennis, flag football, and spending time and going to Mass with my wife, family, and friends.
