June 1999 graduate, summa cum laude

Special Honors, highest class grade point average in class (3.96) SKILLS

Personal Skills:

Others would say that they feel comfortable around me, that I’m easy to talk to, a good listener, patient, calm, empathetic, nurturing, transparent, meek, a truth seeker. I do not desire to be great, only to be great to others.. I care for those who suffer. People come to recognize that I’m honest and on their side. Professional Skills and Philosophy:

My strength is in diagnosis, in determining which joints are misaligned and/or fixed, evaluating the cause of patients’ pain in the context of abnormal curvatures, abnormal gait, poor core tone, obesity, compression syndromes, immune mediated inflammation, work-related repetitive stressors, etc. It has taken me a long time to hone my skill in static palpation and to recognize this as a unique ability. Every patient is different, and so must be their diagnosis in ensuring that their treatment plan will be targeted and effective. Extracurricular Activities

I enjoy working out, golfing, reading medical literature, camping/hiking, watching live bands, and otherwise making every second count and every personal engagement meaningful.
