4th Generation
American Chiropractor

Most of my professional career I practiced in the states of California and Oregon, then working internationally in Paris, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and now in Vienna, Austria. After working with my father, grandfather and brother (all chiropractors) in Lake Tahoe, California, I started my own clinic in the state of Oregon. I currently hold licenses in California, Oregon, Massachusetts, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE.

I have treated a wide range of individuals from children to entertainment celebrities, professional and Olympic athletes. One thing remains the same, people want effective treatment, to start feeling better quickly and find long term stability. 

Growing up in a chiropractic family, being treated by my father and grandfather, I assumed we were "normal"…rarely getting sick, rarely needing medicine, performing well in sports and academics. If we had an injury, we healed quickly. Now, after raising two active and athletic kids the same way, I clearly understand the benefits.  Everything comes from the spine. We are “made to move” and chiropractic treatment is a great tool for obtaining and maintaining good health, mobility and overall function.

Implementing healthy strategies first, including chiropractic care, helps you steer clear of the unintended traps of medicine. Medicine doesn’t make you healthy. At best, it makes you less sick. Sometimes that is what you need, but when problems are more mechanical and functional they don’t respond well to chemical interventions. Visiting the chiropractor should almost always be the first place you start. Whether you have pain, a cold, fatigue, not sleeping well or headaches, your chiropractor should see you first. Unfortunately, chiropractic is more commonly a "last resort" and then patients are surprised to find almost immediate change and improvement. More energy, better sleep, stronger immune systems and of course, better mobility and less pain.

Many problems develop from some type of mechanical spinal dysfunction. Usually coming from too much compression of the spine. This comes from posture, stress, injury, inactivity or overexertion. Chiropractic treatment seeks to repair those problems and restore mobility. Medicine has limitations when treating mechanical dysfunction. While addressing some of the symptoms, like pain, it does not address the root cause of the problem.

An ongoing highlight of my career has been to serve with a team of chiropractors for NBC Sports Television’s annual "American Century Celebrity Golf Championship tournament". Our on-site clinic provides full chiropractic and physiotherapy care to most of the 80 participants of the event. Participants include celebrities, as well as high level current and former athletes from all major professional sports. There have even been a few Olympic gold medalists that make getting adjusted a big part of their routine to stay healthy, perform better and heal quickly.
