Get to Know Me
Patients can expect me to do my best to get to the root of the problem to best help them get back to the activities they enjoy. I’m a physical therapist because I have had the benefit of seeing my parents maintain good mobility, allowing them to stay active and spend time with my children. Through personal experience, I have seen the benefit of physical therapy as well as have seen the need for it in the community. I have worked several physically demanding jobs and understand that people should not have to be in pain just to get through the day, whether it is with work or partaking in an activity they enjoy to help them be healthy, mentally or physically.
In my free time, I enjoy hikes with my daughters, mountain biking, snowboarding, photography, creating art, reading, and relaxation time in my backyard with my family. I’m passionate about teaching my daughters to be appreciators of the world around them and being good humans to others. I also love to spend time, “dad-ing,” or providing a lot of useless information for my daughters. I’m also passionate about making other people feel good. As an empathy sponge, I do not like to see others suffering or in pain.
What I love about the community here is being able to find and make connections with people. The relationships I have made in Bismarck and Mandan over the many years I have been here have led me to being able to connect the dots with common relations, places, or events, which I always find fascinating.
