Kewanee Staff My interest in physical therapy was sparked during high school when I received treatment from a local PT for injuries sustained during football activities. During treatment, I learned that physical therapists are specialized in treating a multitude of injuries and conditions to return people to their prior level of function or even better. I pursued my career in PT by graduating from Augustana College with a major in Psychology and a concentration in pre-physical therapy. I then attended Washington University School of Medicine — Program in Physical Therapy and received my Master of Science in PT in 1992. I have been working with Advanced Rehab and Sports Medicine Services since 1998. Over the years, I have achieved certifications in applied functional science, kinesiotaping and mechanical diagnosis and therapy of the spine to help me better assist people seeking help. I enjoy the challenge of working with clients to help them return to their previous level of function after injury or surgery and celebrating the successes along the way. I enjoy spending time with my wife, who is an educator, and my 3 children. I am a grill/BBQ enthusiast and enjoy spending time in the great outdoors hunting, fishing, ‘shrooming, and tending to my bees (when I’m not getting stung!) I am a PTA at Advanced Rehab and Sports Medicine in Kewanee. I attended WIU and received a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in 1992 and later received a Associate of Science Degree for Physical therapy Asst. from Black Hawk College in Moline in 1995. I’m Married and my wife Jennifer is a Nurse Practitioner, and we have two sons, Jasper and Emmitt. I enjoy working with a variety of patients to help return them to their prior level of function. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family and attending my boys sporting events and activities. I also enjoy building things out of wood and metal. I graduated from Kewanee High School in 1998. After high school I attended Black Hawk College in Moline IL for their Physical therapy Assistant program. Upon completing my last clinical rotation in 2004 at Advanced rehab in Kewanee, they offered me a position, and I have been with Advanced Rehab in Kewanee ever since. I was born and raised in Kewanee. I am glad I can now play an important role in the community I grew up in. My passion has always been to help people and see my patient progress to a better level of function in life. It is truly gratifying. When I am not treating patients you can find me spending time with my husband Russ, son Carter and our Labradoodle Lucy. I enjoy outdoor activities (minus the bugs) and watching my son play basketball and football.
