I graduated from Pitt as a Certified Athletic Trainer and was the ATC at Northampton High School for four years. I then attended Temple's Physical Therapy program, earning the Entry Level Graduate Academic Excellence Award. After graduation I received my direct commission as an officer in the Army Medical Specialist Corps, serving as a physical therapist. I deployed to Horn of Africa in 2025 and to Iraq as a PT in 2007. I earned the Army Medical Specialist Corps Award of Excellence for the Reserve Component in 2007. My current rank is Lieutenant Colonel. I completed a successful command of a Medical Support Unit in 2022. I have earned my Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist certification and continue to hone my clinical skills, to the benefit of my patients and my own satisfaction as a clinician. I particularly enjoy working with the spine due to the problem solving and skill set required to be effective.
