After high school, he attended U.C Davis where he played four years of intercollegiate football and graduated with a bachelor's degree in exercise science. One day after graduation, he moved to Scotland to work for the National Football League and returned it a World Bowl Trophy under his belt.
In 1998 he was accepted to Palmer West College of Chiropractic. During his time there he became president of his chiropractic college and upon his graduation, achieved the honor of valedictorian.
He has always felt at home in the Sacramento area and opened his practice here in June of 2002. Since opening, his recent accomplishments have ranged from becoming a team doctor for local semi-pro teams to doing charity work at Wellspring Women's Center. Your health and wellbeing is and always will be his ultimate goal!
