I served in the US Army on active duty as a combat medic where I did a combat tour and then as an osteopathic physician in a combat aviation brigade and a sustainment brigade out of Ft Riley as the Brigade Surgeon for both. I am board certified in Occupational and Aerospace Medicine. I have enjoyed using manual medicine since starting Chiropractic College in 2002 and have been able to expand my abilities and knowledge through OMM both while attending LMU-DCOM and actively practicing it in clinic. The integration of OMM principles along side the traditional medical or allopathic model is an important aspect to me and will be the focus of training for me. Additionally, I plan on providing additional focus on military related topics preparing students that are entering military service to hit the ground running once they are there.
