Back in 1981, he graduated with his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan College of Chiropractic. With nearly 40 years of clinical experience, he has developed an extensive network of provider specialists and has pioneered a transition from individual specialty care into transdisciplinary team-based care.

His decades of community service include Forest Lake Safety Camp, Lakes Center for Youth and Families, Community Scholarship Foundation, and Rotary International – Forest Lake Chapter.
