PJ was born and raised in Guam. As a former member of Guam’s national rugby team, he is no stranger to aches and pains. His positive experience with physical therapists as an injured athlete inspired PJ to pursue a B.S. in Kinesiology from Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont California and graduated in 2017. PJ worked as a personal trainer at Stanford’s recreation center until his acceptance into Regis University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program in 2020. PJ graduated in 2023 and is passionate about providing patient-centered, evidence-based care to help patients return the activities that they love. Outside of work, PJ enjoys spending time outdoors, weightlifting, cooking, and spending time with his fiancée and cat.
