About

I am an easy-going guy that wants to help people, so physical therapy is a natural fit for me. I grew up around sports and I wanted to be involved in that field in some way, which led me to pursue a degree and become certified as an Athletic Trainer. My experience working in the field of athletic training includes working with Division I football, soccer, volleyball, and track athletes, as well as high-school athletes participating in all sports. I furthered my education and became a Doctor of Physical Therapy at Arkansas State University. My experience has allowed me to work with patients of all ages, ranging from young athletes trying to return to sports, to the geriatric population trying to reduce the risk for falling. Working at Baptist allows me to help people in an environment that facilitates healing, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the community of Bryant.

About

My interest as a therapist began in high school when I had to attend therapy following an injury.. In 2008, I started working in the outpatient therapy clinic at BHMC-NLR. Working in a hospital based clinic gave me a wide variety of patients and exposure to working in both acute and inpatient rehab along with the outpatient clinic. I moved to the Baptist Health Therapy Center in Bryant in 2018. I am experienced in working with a variety of diagnoses including stroke, amputee and other neurological impairments. My area of emphasis is orthopedics including cervical and lumbar spine.
