I grew up in rural Minnesota on a farm before going to University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire where I majored in Exercise Science and wrestled for 4 years collegiately. I moved out to Colorado and continued my education at Regis University where I received my DPT. Over my years of education I was able to experience athletics at the collegiate level as an athlete and as a member of the Strength and Performance team as well as experience clinicals in inpatient and outpatient orthopedic and sports settings.

In my free time I am involved in the (ultra) running community where I enjoy racing. When I am not running, I am spending my time with family watching and talking sports.
