I am a third-year physical therapy student at IU Indianapolis with a passion for research and soft-tissue mobilization. I have continued in my passion by receiving a certification in the Graston Technique so I can combine soft tissue mobilization with exercise to improve patient outcomes. I believe in the power of people and community and using my understanding of exercise and biomechanics I can work to improve people's lives while making it fun along the way. I reside in Indianapolis Indiana and in my free time love to workout, run, read books, listen to music, and spend time with my lovely wife Emily and our dog Bella.
