I was born and raised in Aurora.  All of my life I have lived here and I have watched the community grow while still maintaining that small town feel.

As a kid I was sick all the time.  I was short and scrawny with a chronic stuffy nose and a wheeze.  At the age of ten I ended up with a significant health challenge that made sports impossible and walking difficult.  That is how I ended up seeing a chiropractor.  It was at that point that my health began to improve dramatically.  After that first visit I knew that I would be a chiropractor when I grew up.  You see, it was not just a decision or a career choice.  It was my calling.  Chiropractic just made sense to me as a way to live a healthier, more vital lifestyle.

I went to the University of Waterloo and earned an Honours B.Sc. in Kinesiology. My main interest was exercise physiology.  Four years later, I graduated with honours from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. 

At chiropractic school, I was lucky to meet my beautiful wife Shawna and we have been blessed with two wonderful, healthy children – eight year old Jackson and three year old Jenna (and our third child is on the way).  So in addition to being a chiropractor I am also a dad, a taxi service, a soccer coach, an amateur wrestler, and a handyman.

I have been a chiropractor for seven years.  My focus is on helping families to live healthier lives with an emphasis on the care of children.  I strive to learn continuously in order to be the best.  I am constantly reading, studying, and attending seminars to stay current.  I am a member of my provincial and national associations as well as the International Chiropractic Paediatric Association.  Presently I am studying to complete my chiropractic paediatric certification.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, (especially about the mind/body connection and how to live a fuller life) playing hockey, and running.  One of my goals this year is to qualify for the Boston marathon. _____________________________________________________________________
