Location:: Clark Road; "Sports have always been a way of life for me, and I played football in high school and in college at the semi-pro level. When I pulled my groin, I used physical therapy to get back in the game. After getting heavily involved in power lifting, I decided to go into physical therapy. I enjoy watching the progression as people get better, and knowing I had something to do with that makes me feel good. I think physical therapy is my true calling in life."
