Ferndale, Owner & Director

Owner & Director: HQ Ferndale

My passion for physical therapy started while working as a PT exercise technician in Chicago (2001). Five years later I moved to Michigan and joined the HealthQuest team (Rochester Hills & Clawson). After graduating with my PTA degree from Macomb in 2011, the only place I could imagine working was at HealthQuest because of their dedication and commitment to giving high-quality care. Plus, I knew HealthQuest was a good fit for me. I have been fortunate to learn and grow from the skilled therapists and continued education courses. Now with over 20 years of experience and knowledge with different injuries and diagnoses, I am excited to join the Ferndale community and own my own facility. Ferndale is a diverse and vibrant community that I am honored to provide excellent healthcare. In my downtime, I enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, no matter the climate(snow is my favorite), and spending time with my wife, Cara, and our two pugs Stella and Frankie.
