I was born and raised in Bridgeport, Texas. I graduated from Bridgeport High School in 1999, then pursued my Bachleor of Science degree from Angelo State University in 2006, and also while at Angelo State University, i recieved my Master of Physical Therapy degree!.

I grew up with a great deal of influence by my extended family, especially my grandfather, Chito. I worked along side him in the summers much of childhood and through high school pouring concrete. I first became interested in physical therapy in high school after a football injury that led to surgery on my right thumb and required over 2 months of therapy to regain function. The physical therapist treating me ended up hiring me to work as a therapy aid part time while attending college.

My first job after college was working with Shayne Dutton PT, who was the same physical therapist that treated me and hired me in college. I later went on to work as a traveling physical therapist during 2009-2011 where I got the chance to work with a variety of therapists in many different settings and demographrics. During that time was when I realized how much I would like to manage my own practice when the chance came.

Favorite Movies, Shows, Podcasts & Books:

I’m not much of a movie watcher, and the books I enjoy reading would bore you!

Something that patients has to deal with that i would love to change is they deal with a healthcare system that profits from illness. I would love to see people encouraged and incentivized to be well physically and mentally.

As the owner, I take it personal that my staff has a place to work and feel like they are valued but also provide value to our organization and clients. I set the tone for the day and make sure I enjoy coming to work more than anyone else. I love my staff and they are hands down the best staff I’ve ever worked with.

Conditions that I enjoy treating are the conditions that don’t have a protocol. I feel like I have a gift for finding creative activities and movements to mimic function.

When I’m not working:

I am doing anything and everything I can do to spend time with my family and extended family. Our family is also honored to be able to serve our local church and enjoy rooting for all of the local churches making an impact on our local communities and youth.
