I had a fantastic job with a world class accounting firm and what is referred to as “the good life,” but something was missing.
A painful hip injury, perpetuated by competitive collegiate running, introduced me to my true calling in life. After trying several different therapeutic treatments with little success, it was through excellent chiropractic care that I experienced healing for my hip and an epiphany regarding true health. I became passionate about the amazing, underutilized, restorative ability of the body. The revelation that chiropractic care is able to remove interferences that block the body’s inborn healing challenged me to look at health issues from an exciting new perspective.
It wasn’t long before I left my corporate job in Cleveland to enroll in chiropractic school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Following extensive studies at Palmer, I spent a year working as an associate doctor in Dayton, Ohio. After finishing my associateship in early 2009, I moved to Central Oregon to purchase the Holtby Chiropractic Center, later renamed Aligned.
During the summer of 2010 I was married to the love of my life, Sally. She and her two dogs then joined me in Central Oregon. Running continues to be big part of my life. Since relocating to Central Oregon, I feel blessed to be able to try out several new endeavors such as downhill skiing and living on small farm.
