Experience backed by over 25 years in the field of Physical Therapy with a growing passion for nutrition. To start, I'm a Navy veteran, husband and father of two boys. With my free time I also love DIY, woodworking, and even a little graphic design that I have an Etsy shop for. I've been practicing as a licensed healthcare professional in the amazing field of Physical Therapy for over 23 years now. Along the way I realized that teaching and educating the folks I work with on a daily basis, while gaining important knowledge from what I teach them regarding exercise, injury prevention and recovery, were needing more in order to reach what I consider to be optimal health and function. I have also developed a passion for nutrition and now find myself seeking new information through research on a daily basis. However, as a therapist I have to be careful that I don't step on the doctor's toes in the process. As a Health & Nutrition Coach I have the freedom to teach(coach) more freely to provided training and to educate those in need of my knowledge and guidance to reach their goal of improved overall health and wellness. Many simply are not aware that they do not have to settle for the symptom management model provided by our healthcare system(SICKCARE system). It is actually possible to resolve or bare minimum, drastically improve many of the health issues, diseases, disorders that we suffer from. The need for Weight loss solutions that actually work and are not based on myths is a big one! Solutions that ACTUALLY WORK! Not to mention common health problems and issues that so many have been told that they will have to live with the rest of their lives and can only hope to manage these problems with pills. Diabetes, high blood pressure, inflammatory diseases, auto immune diseases, osteoporosis, osteopenia, just to name a few. Many of the explanations provided by the Healthcare System as to the causes of these types of problems are based on complete falsehoods and VERY weak science if any science at all. In many cases merely based on Popular Opinion. So my goal is to help others reach a higher pinnacle of health and wellness that they may not have know was attainable. I have already sifted through the muddy waters to find the knowledge that it would take others far too much time to attain in order to get their health back. In closing I would like to say that if are in need of a COACH to teach you and guide you along your path to success, please allow me to help! It would be an HONOR!
