Meet the Doctor
Like many people, I grew up believing chiropractors were “quacks.” That perspective changed in 2010 after years of construction work left me with serious lower back pain. It reached the point where I locked up during a yoga class and could barely stand straight. My wife suggested seeing her chiropractor. Skeptical but desperate, I agreed — and when traditional care didn’t resolve the pain, we found a specialist who focused on the upper neck.
It didn’t make sense to me at the time — treating the neck to fix the lower back — but after one adjustment, I felt relief. By the next day, my pain was gone, and I was back on the ski slopes with my grandchildren. That experience completely shifted my understanding of health and healing.
I realized that if chiropractic could restore my life so quickly, I wanted to help others experience the same. At 57, I made the leap, left the corporate world, enrolled in chiropractic school, and graduated in my early 60s. For nearly a decade now, I’ve specialized in upper cervical care, helping patients with chronic issues that other treatments often overlook.
Today, my passion is simple: to serve, to listen, and to help people find the same freedom and healing I once thought wasn’t possible.
