I have held a license to practice massage therapy for over 29 years. Early in my career, I was a nationally certified personal trainer for 18 years. During that time, I completed thousands of one-on-one private training sessions. I went on to teach biomechanics to personal trainers, group exercise instructors, and physical therapists throughout New England.
I worked as a sports massage therapist at ESPN.
Over the last few years, I have been quoted in Runner’s World UK, Massage Therapy & Bodywork, Massage Magazine, IDEA Fitness Journal, Massage & Fitness Magazine, and The Guardian Liberty Voice. I have also served as an applied biomechanics consultant for the fitness staff at Canyon Ranch, The Greenbrier, and ESPN.
From 2009 to 2018, I immensely enjoyed teaching applied anatomy & kinesiology at Parker University.
