About Me

I am a certified specialist in orthopedic physical therapy with 10 years of clinical experience. As the Head of Clinical at Second Door Health, I lead clinical strategy, research, and content creation. I am passionate about advancing the evidence-based practice, clinical outcomes, and professional development of the PT profession.

I earned my BS in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and my Doctor of Physical Therapy from Emory University. I am a graduate of PT Solution’s Orthopaedic Residency Program.

I live in Milton, GA with his wife, Lindsay, and two children, Charlie and Caroline. I enjoy a variety of exercises, golfing, all things fantasy baseball, and reading.
