I was born and raised in the Yakima and Spokane valleys. I grew up on a
small fruit farm of grapes, pears and apples and later worked on and
operated several other farms. After finishing high school, I continued
my education at Brigham Young University where I received a Bachelors
of Science degree in Zoology (Health Care) and for one and a half years
I played goalie on the soccer team.
I then moved to Portland, OR to attend chiropractic school at Western
States Chiropractic College. Life in Portland was a lot of fun, I met
my wife (who was from Lewiston), received my second Bachelors of
Science degree in Human Biology and my Doctorate degree in Chiropractic
Health Care.
Although I enjoyed Portland, I am glad to be back in a town the size of
Lewiston and back to a farming area. Lewiston is a great place to live.
To better serve my patients and because I feel that continuing my
education is important, I am currently working on a Masters degree in
Clinical Nutrition. How did I become interested in chiropractic health
care:
After two years of college, I decided that a career in either
Veterinary Science or Optometry was not for me. Still wanting to be
involved in health care and not satisfied with the options available, a
friend suggested I look into Chiropractic Health Care. Instantly I
thought "No way, I'm not going to be a witch doctor" even though I had
never been to a chiropractor before.
Through constant urging of my friend, I visited his chiropractor. It
was great. The style and quality of care given to each patient was
exactly what I had been looking for. I began to visit every
chiropractic office I could (I still do this to learn ways to better
serve my patients) and I began to read everything I could find about
the pros and cons of chiropractic care.
I quickly learned that chiropractic care, manipulation and therapy helps thousands of people every day.
