A little more about myself… I grew up in North Dakota where I was a college baseball player at the University of Jamestown and received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of North Dakota. I packed my bags for Arizona in the Fall of 2020 seeking out new experiences and hotter weather. Although I now have an Arizona address, the Midwest will always be home and I continue to look forward to summer trips to visit family and friends. I pride myself in my ability to connect and empathize with other humans due to a history of overcoming injuries throughout my life – most notably my low back. After a brief time away from college baseball, I was able to return as the conference player of the year in 2016 and become both an academic and regular All-American. I have come to appreciate the complexity of pain and injury, and know that there are many factors that may both positively or negatively affect your experience. Most notably, having someone in your corner for support that you can trust is essential in navigating the body and expect to leave every interaction on a positive note. When I am away from Physical Therapy you will now catch me on the local Arizona Pickleball courts, running for recreation (I know I am crazy), spending time in the outdoors hunting and fishing, or enjoying some of the best golf across the country. I am an avid Minnesota sports fan who has been continuously let down since 1994, but will attend at least one Vikings game per year no matter what part of the country I am living in. I have created connections across the country and know the importance of continuing to build on all friendly and work-related relationships. I look forward to speaking with you!
