A 2001 graduate from the University of Georgia with B.S.Ed. in Exercise Science, a Certified Athletic Trainer since 2002, and a 2003 graduate from Florida State University with a M.S. in Sport Administration, I have worked in the collegiate and professional sports environments leading and developing sports medicine teams comprised of Certified Athletic Trainers, Primary Care Physicians, Orthopedic Surgeons, supporting the health, medical care, and performance of athletes.  With a passion for developing integrated, multidisciplinary, and collaborative provider groups I've spent the past 25 years building networks for care in conjunction with other allied healthcare professionals including Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Strength and Conditioning coaches, and specialist Physicians.
