Meet The Team

My friends and family thought I was crazy…

I had a fantastic job with a world class accounting firm and what is referred to as “the good life,” but something was missing.

A painful hip injury, perpetuated by competitive collegiate running, introduced me to my true calling in life. After trying several different therapeutic treatments with little success, it was through excellent chiropractic care that I experienced healing for my hip and an epiphany regarding true health. I became passionate about the amazing, underutilized, restorative ability of the body. The revelation that chiropractic care is able to remove interferences that block the body’s inborn healing challenged me to look at health issues from an exciting new perspective.

My Chiropractic Path

It wasn’t long before I left my corporate job in Cleveland, Ohio to enroll in chiropractic school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.  Following extensive studies at Palmer, I spent a year working as an associate doctor in Fairborn, Ohio. After finishing my associateship in early 2009, I moved to Central Oregon to purchase the Holtby Chiropractic Center, later renamed Aligned. 

During the summer of 2010 I was married to the love of my life, Sally.  We are blessed to live on our small acreage property in Tumalo with our dogs, horse and mini donkey.  When not performing ranch work, you can find me backpacking one of Central Oregon’s trails, skiing or spending time in the gym.

I’d love the opportunity to help you and your family reach your personal health goals, and together we can promote a healthier community.
