“I understand athletes because I have been around sports my entire life. I understand the 10-year-old that is frustrated with a broken leg, the high school senior with a season-ending knee injury, and a 45-year-old that is struggling training for a marathon.

It is my pleasure, my blessing, and my passion to be able to take care of athletes of all ages in all sports.”
