I am a North Dakota native and grew up in Hazelton, ND. I attended the University of Mary and graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2016. I am married to my wife, Tasha, who is a University of Mary graduate in Occupational Therapy. We have one child together, Noah. Professionally, I have traveled around the country with my wife working in various orthopedic settings while also completing/in the process of completing many post-doctoratal certifications. In my free time, I enjoy staying active through biking, running, and hiking while spending time with my family and friends.
