"I grew up in Moline, Illinois home of John Deere! I moved out west to go to school and met my wife, an Idaho Falls native. It didn’t take long to fall in love with the area as I have always loved the outdoors, and this area has it all! We have three wonderful kids who keep us busy with sports and dance! When we get the chance we love to go camping, hiking and snowshoeing. I chose physical therapy because I had a knee injury in high school and worked with an athletic trainer and physical therapist to rehab my knee. I loved the rehab process, and this piqued my interest in perusing a career in rehabilitation."
