Chiropractic Physician

Crystal Falls & Iron River Locations I grew up in Crystal Falls, Michigan, where I graduated from Forest Park and later attended Central Michigan University for my Bachelor of Science degree. I later obtained my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. I am an active member of the Michigan Chiropractic Association, the American Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. In my free time, I enjoy spending time at our camp and remaining active with my children's and community events. My husband, Dr. Tony, and I, share 2 amazing children, Gabe who is finishing high school and Maddie who is in her undergraduate program at Central Michigan University. However, serving the health care needs of our community remains a top priority. I am pleased to be part of a great team of people helping the community to be healthier and happier.

Iron River & Crystal Falls Locations Following graduation, I served in the United States Army and married my wife Dr. Kim. Upon honorable completion of my tour, I attended Central Michigan University and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree. I worked for a while as a police officer. I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. When I am not helping individuals in my office, you will find me outdoors. One of my favorite passions is hunting. I also enjoy kayaking down the river and small lakes.

Chiropractic Assistant

Crystal Falls Location I’m new to the chiropractic world but love a good challenge. I have a business degree from Bay de Noc Community College. I look forward to learning all that I can and using that knowledge to help as many people as I can. When I’m not working, I’m out enjoying as many of the favorite activities as I can. Some of those activities include things like hunting, fishing, kayaking and hiking. I also enjoy any activities that I can do with my Family. I’m married, have one son, and 4 dogs that take up the remainder of my time.
