I graduated with a Bachelors of Accounting Degree from the University of Illinois in 1991. Following my degree I worked in Chicago as a Financial Analyst for the Florshiem Shoe Company and PRC Environmental Management Inc. I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1999 and went on to complete the course in the Gonstead Advanced Technique Seminar Series. This included over 100 hours of postgraduate instruction in the Gonstead Chiropractic system. In 1997, before I graduated, I completed the Mally Enterprises course on advanced extremity adjusting technique. I am a member of the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society, the Illinois Prairie State Chiropractic Association, where I currently serve as the alternate state legislative delegate, and the International Chiropractor Association. I am board certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and licensed to practice in the state of Illinois.
In 2007 I became a member of the international organization Fibromyalgia Centers of America. I have frequently traveled to Georgia to train with other doctors of chiropractic in specific techniques that offer hope to sufferers of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. In January 2009 I was honored by becoming the Vice President of Fibromyalgia Centers of America and I have since traveled nationally speaking and training fellow doctors.
My love for chiropractic and travel has taken me to all parts of the world. I have had the privilege to adjust orphans in China, medical staff in Russia, missionaries in Mongolia and recently I returned from a trip to India as a Faculty member with Palmer College of Chiropractic, where I supervised students and adjusted many school children and needy adults. It is my passion to not only share chiropractic with you, my neighbor, but also with the world.
While working in Chicago I injured my shoulder in a Volleyball match. I was unable to raise my arm above my shoulder and after months of physical therapy and rehab I faced surgery. It was at that time that a friend intervened and referred me to a chiropractor. Within a couple of weeks I was back to playing Volleyball like nothing had happened. It is because of this personal experience that I decided to become a chiropractor.
My experiences have given me a great opportunity to learn to care for a wide variety of ailments from which my patients suffer. My mission is to restore health through natural chiropractic care, allowing my patients to live their lives to the fullest
Having grown up in the Quad Cities I chose to start my practice in Rock Island, IL and have been successfully practicing for almost ten years. I have been married to my wife Robyn for 9 years and we are blessed to be the parents of our 5 year old son, Cooper. When I am not at the office you can find me enjoying family time, volunteering in our church, serving with the Rock Island Kiwanis association or playing Volleyball and Golf. It is an honor to be your neighbor and serve my community through natural chiropractic.
