    Ever since I was a kid I've loved figuring out how things work. In high school, when I had two concussions from sports, chiropractic care helped me through it. I was soon interested in learning more about chiropractic and how the body works. In 2019 I graduated from Purdue University with my Bachelor in Kinesiology and have been working at chiropractic offices ever since. My wife and I will be attending Palmer College of Chiropractic this March! Besides health and chiropractic, I love music, guitar, audiobooks, exercise, the outdoors, working around our house, and spending time with my wife and extended family.

    Rehab Tech

    Originally from Elkhart/South Bend, Indiana, I moved to Fort Wayne 3 years ago for school. Since then, I've worked as a patient care technician and as a personal trainer, the latter of which I still do occasionally. I've always been very interested in body/biomechanics, which has transitioned well into working in Chiropractic.

    I'm currently going back to school to study Radiology. When I'm not working in our Rehab room or training, I'm spending time with the people I love it, preferably outside!

    I recently discovered how amazing chiropractic care can be for someone by starting working here! I've always had an interest in health science and went to school for massage therapy a few years ago. I received my Massage Therapy License in 2022, but due to an injury I was unable to continue. I knew I wanted to stay in the field and recently got welcomed into True Wellness Chiropractic! I love the outdoors, camping, reading and enjoying a nice true crime podcast or show on Netflix!
