Professionally, it is my goal to give quality chiropractic care and service with the skills I have acquired over the last decade of practice.  I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2012.  My over 10 years of experience has taken me down a path to treat thousands of patients with many different conditions that chiropractic care can help.  I have attended hundreds of hours of continuing education since graduating with my Doctorate of Chiropractic.  I will continue to do more to further my education and stay current with the changing times.  I believe in an evidence based form of health care, and have found overwhelming evidence to conditions and symptoms that chiropractic care care treat.

Personally, I have been married to my beautiful wife Lisa for 12 years.  She is a registered nurse and works in Emergency Rooms.  We have 3 wonderful children.  The oldest is Katie is 18 and currently attending college courses.  Our son Michael 7, and going into 1st grade.  is one of the happiest people I have ever met and loves to play baseball and bowling.  Our youngest Mia is 4 and will be starting kindergarten next year.  She is our sassy and loveable princess.  She enjoys playing with her dolls and dinosaurs.

I look forward bringing my experience to Claddagh Chiropractic and the community it has the privilege to serve.
