I grew up primarily in Deadwood, South Dakota and the Black Hills from 1st grade until I graduated from Black Hills State University in 2019. I spent a majority of my childhood with my large family and friends going to lakes, camping, hunting, and playing as many sports as I could. After high school I attended Dakota Wesleyan University where I played basketball for 2 years before transferring to BHSU to finish out my bachelors degree. I had suffered from major wear and tear on my knees over the years from repetitive jumping and landing without proper mechanics or education on how to prevent or rehabilitate the situation. This lead me to the extraordinary world of preventative medicine that is chiropractic. After spending some time researching on my own I found that chiropractic was so much more than spine health, in fact, we as chiropractors are able to treat the entire musculoskeletal system including almost every joint in your entire body from your neck and low back to your wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, hips, and ankles. Following my transfer into BHSU I was able to complete my senior year internship in Whitewood, South Dakota with Dr. Will John Johnson who completely shaped my path and showed me how great chiropractic can be for everyone. Following graduation from Black Hills State University I moved out to Port Orange, Florida where I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic. Throughout the Doctorate program I was able to experience and explore the many different possibilities of chiropractic through the philosophy, science, and art of the profession. Not only did my my physical capabilities improve, but through my education I was able to totally rehab my knees through chiropractic and physical therapy which helped me perform at my PEAK which I had previously thought was past me. Throughout all of these experiences I have been able to shape the way that I want to practice and help the community prevent future injuries through chiropractic wellness as well as help your body heal previous injuries through our care. I am more than excited to return back the Black Hills and serve the community that served me for so long!
