Growing up, I played a multitude of sports (soccer, basketball, baseball, football). Conditioning was always my favorite part of practice, maybe because it was the part I seemed to excel at. Perhaps, this was a sign that the endurance world was more of my calling. Who knows? It wasn’t until high school that I found and fell in love with distance running after joining the cross country team my sophmore year. I continued my running career by walking-on to a small, private D2 cross country and track team in St. Louis where I also went to PT school.

(Un)Fortunately, I had quite a bit of time away from running throughout high school and college due to injuries and burnout. I didn’t know it then, but it would be the catalyst that would drive me to specialize in managing runners. These experiences provided me some fond memories and the best friendships, but I also know first hand the heartache, frustration, and even depression it can also create when things aren’t going well. I wish to help all the runners I work with be able to obtain their own epic stories and amazing life experiences running can provide while minimizing the negative ones to the best of my ability. I know the decision of who to work with for rehab or performance is not an easy one so I would be honored if you chose to put your trust in me to aid in supporting your running goals.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring different training/movement, spending time with my 2 dogs and wife, backpacking, and look to continue exploring the beautiful state of Colorado.

As a passionate athletic trainer and Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), I am excited to utilize my training to specialize in endurance athletes. With a focus on delivering high-quality treatment, I am dedicated to helping runners, triathletes, and active individuals achieve their full potential.

My professional journey is complemented by my personal experience as an athlete. I have completed three marathons and an Ironman triathlon, and I was a competitive swimmer during my college years at SUNY Brockport. Throughout my time as an athlete, I dealt with several injuries that limited my ability to compete at a high level. I understand the frustrations and mental and physical strain resulting from sitting out of an activity you love. My goal is to help you return to your highest level of function as an athlete as quickly and safely as possible.

In addition to my practical experience, I am currently preparing for the Sports Clinical Specialist (SCS) certification exam to further deepen my expertise in sports-focused physical therapy. At Run Mental, I am committed to providing personalized care that enhances performance, prevents injuries, and supports a speedy recovery.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking—having completed two 14ers so far—fishing, and spending quality time with my fiancée, Hope, and our Corgi, Benji. I look forward to working with you and utilizing my background and skills to help you reach your athletic goals and perform at your best.
