My Background

I majored in Biology at undergraduate college due to my interest and fascination with the way living creatures are structured and function. After graduation, I worked in various job positions. Each one taught me a new set of skills that would help me in my future occupation. After a number of years in these other jobs, I decided that I needed to contemplate my personal goals, and create a new career path. Through introspection I discovered that I wanted to become a massage therapist and help people to heal.

I enrolled and attended classes at Seattle Massage School (now known as Ashmead College), finishing their massage program in February of 1999 with a 4.0 grade point average. I passed the state exam the following month, and became licensed in the state of Washington.

My clinical focus is on managing and eliminating pain, injury rehabilitation, and correcting soft tissue dysfunction (including postural distortions) for my clients. I feel that this work is very important to improving the quality of life for each individual, and helping them live life to the fullest.

Personal Interests & Life

In addition to my massage clinic, I have varied personal interests...

In August of 2006, my wife and I had our first child. Our baby girl is keeping us quite busy at home with her constant growth and development.

I am an avid fan and practitioner of yoga. I started practicing yoga in 2003 after a serious back injury. Yoga, Pilates, and massage have helped me recover fully, and continue to make me stronger and more flexible.

I also enjoy computer programming (for fun if you can believe it), reading, bicycling, playing with our three dogs, and keeping an ever growing collection of cornsnakes. Our friends always comment how our house is like a little zoo.
