MEET THE DOCTORS.

I never dreamed of becoming a doctor. In fact, I never imagined myself working in healthcare. When people ask me what led me into this profession, I often tell them that I didn't choose healthcare. Healthcare chose me.

After three back surgeries and nearly four years of debilitating pain, I found myself searching for answers that no one seemed able to give me. Multiple doctors and surgeons told me I might live with pain for the rest of my life. Despite physical therapy, chiropractic care, injections, and surgery, I struggled to find lasting relief.

For two of those four years, following my first surgery in 2021, I was essentially bedridden. I lived with constant pain in my lower back and down my leg, every hour of every day. I couldn't work a normal job or live anything resembling a normal life. I spent most of my time confined to my bedroom, selling insurance from my phone just to make ends meet and afford injections I hoped would give me some relief.

I spent countless hours researching my symptoms and searching for anything that might help. But despite my efforts, I wasn't getting better. I eventually realized I needed to go beyond what I could learn on my own.

I wasn't concerned with becoming a chiropractor or pursuing a particular title. I simply wanted to immerse myself in healthcare and understand the human body. Chiropractic school became that opportunity.

Even during my first two years of school, I was still in significant pain. Every couple of weeks, I flew from Dallas to my hometown of San Antonio for injections, hoping for enough relief to sit through classes and continue my education.

What eventually changed my life wasn't a single treatment or technique. It was meeting extraordinary mentors who challenged how I understood movement, rehabilitation, and pain.

Through their guidance, I began exploring clinical systems beyond my formal education and applying what I learned to my own rehabilitation. By my third year of chiropractic school, I had finally reached a point where I could live without the debilitating pain that once controlled my life.

That experience changed everything.

For years, my pain seemed to confirm what surgeons and other healthcare professionals had told me: I might never fully recover. But through my own recovery, I discovered another path forward.

I wasn't simply going through rehabilitation. I was studying it. I was dissecting it.

I paid attention to every change in my symptoms, every movement that felt different, every shift in my confidence, and every response my body had to the work I was doing. I wanted to understand the why behind it all.

Even while I was still suffering, I held on to the belief that I would eventually get through it. And when I did, I wanted to remember every step. Every symptom, emotion, thought, setback, and breakthrough.

I recognized that I was experiencing something no textbook could fully teach me. I was learning about chronic pain while living through it, and I wanted to use that experience to become a better clinician for people who were suffering just like I had.

Once I finally experienced relief and began getting my life back, I understood firsthand what thoughtful assessment, rehabilitation, and the right guidance could accomplish.

I BECAME OBSESSED.

I wanted to know everything. Why did these approaches help when so many others hadn't? What was happening within the body? How could I take what I had learned and apply it to the person in front of me?

That curiosity led me to an incredible opportunity: an extensive clinical internship alongside Dr. Brett Winchester. I spent approximately 1,000 hours at his clinic, observing, learning, and applying clinical concepts under his mentorship. His guidance helped shape the way I assess, reason, and care for patients today.

Throughout chiropractic school, Dr. Daniel O'Malley and I completed approximately 300–350 combined hours of continuing education, pursuing advanced training beyond our formal curriculum.

Our clinical philosophy integrates Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), neurodynamics, Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), Motion Palpation Institute (MPI) principles, rehabilitation, and other treatment methods.

But to me, the value isn't in collecting techniques or certifications. It's in understanding when, why, and how to apply them to the individual sitting in front of me.

That's the foundation of Movementum.

I believe patients deserve thoughtful clinical reasoning, individualized care, and a clinician who is constantly working to improve. My goal isn't simply temporary relief. It's to understand each person's situation, help them rebuild confidence and physical capacity, and give them the tools to move forward.

Today, I'm able to do the things I once feared I might never do again. And I get to dedicate my life to helping others pursue that same possibility.

My mission is to become the clinician I needed when I was suffering. I'll spend the rest of my career learning, growing, and doing everything I can to provide that level of care to every patient who trusts me with their health.

Originally from Helena, Montana, I attended the University of Montana before earning my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Parker University. I've always had a passion for helping others, and chiropractic has given me the opportunity to turn that passion into a career dedicated to making a meaningful difference in people's lives.

I believe pain has taken control of far too many people's lives, preventing them from doing the things they love and enjoying everyday activities. My goal is to help people regain control of their health, rebuild confidence in their bodies, and get back to living life on their own terms.

I believe healthcare should never feel rushed.

Every patient deserves the time, attention, and individualized care necessary to understand their concerns and work toward meaningful improvement. That's why I prioritize longer, one-on-one appointments that allow me to listen, ask the right questions, and give each patient my full attention.

My approach combines hands-on chiropractic care, movement, rehabilitation, and patient education. But I don't believe successful healthcare means keeping patients coming back indefinitely. I want to give people the knowledge, strength, and tools they need to take ownership of their health and feel confident in their bodies.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with persistent pain, or simply looking to move and feel better, my focus is on helping you build the confidence and physical capacity to do the things that matter most to you.

Outside the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my wife, family, and friends. I love staying active, whether that's working out at the gym or playing pickleball, and I'm always up for watching a good NFL game.

At the end of the day, I want every patient who walks through our doors to feel heard, valued, and confident that they have someone genuinely invested in their health. My goal isn't just to help you feel better today, but to give you the tools to keep moving forward long after you leave the clinic.
