Biography

I have decades of experience in orthopedics and sports medicine working with high school, college, professional and recreational athletes. I have been a clinical instructor since 1995, I develop and teach APTA approved education courses nationally. I have a clinical interest in ACL, foot and ankle and shoulder injuries. I have a strong background in strength and conditioning and is certified in dry needling and incorporates that into my treatment plans.

I developed and coordinates Ohio State's Tactical Rehab and Conditioning (TRAC) program specifically designed to meet the unique rehabilitation and training demands of the tactical operator (firefighters, police officers, military, etc.)

Consulting and Related Relationships

At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
