Physical Therapist
FYZICAL Naperville
Hello! I was born and raised in the southwest suburbs of Chicago in the Orland Park area. I went to Marian Catholic Highschool where I was in the marching band and played percussion. From there, I was accepted into the Saint Louis University Physical Therapy program where I graduated in 2017 with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Then, I moved back to sweet home Chicago where I met my wife, got married in Naperville, and now currently live in the Naperville/Lisle area. In 2024, I became the father to a handsome boy named Pierce, our first son.
I found my passion for physical therapy back in my sophomore year of high school when I had the opportunity to shadow in several different physical therapy clinics as part of a project. I fell in love with the idea of working in the healthcare field, helping individuals who were suffering from pain and injury, and individuals post neurological injury.
During my career, I have had a passion for treating those suffering with chronic pain both in the orthopedic and neurological populations. I have been striving to improve my knowledge both in treatment and education of chronic pain to inspire those with it to improve their quality of life and get back to what they love to do. I believe that people can greatly improve their lives through movement, having fun, and laughing their way through it.
Lastly, I have been involved in sports all my life. I have participated in Martial arts on and off for 10 years, and I have participated in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Muay Thai. Currently, I have fallen in love with running and I have been training for ultramarathons over past 2 years. One thing I have learned from running over the past 2 years with the goal of eventually running a 100-mile race is…consistency is key.
