Clinical Interests
Some of my clinical interest include: Use of osseointegration for prosthetic care options, improvement of biomechanics as it pertains to prosthetic care in conjunction with Physical Therapy, developing strategies and prostheses geared toward patient specific activities or improvements to perform activities.

Care Philosophy
As a clinician I love the opportunity to create lasting patient relationships, problem solve, and work with emerging medial applications such as osseointegration. I strive to make the most positive impact for prosthetic care that allows patients to live the life they want.

Personal Interests
When not at work I love spending time with my family. I enjoy working with my hands, blacksmithing and woodworking; and prefer to be outdoors, hiking, fly fishing or playing my banjo. I consider myself a semi-scholar of Tolkien and his works.

Volunteer Activities
When possible I enjoy volunteering at amputee mobility clinics or amputee specific activity outings. I also volunteer my time toward local environmental clean up and improvement crews.
