About Joe

The long way to root-cause care.

Before Joe was a Doctor of Physical Therapy, he was an EMT, a firefighter, and a kinesiologist who spent over a decade learning what actually helps people heal — long before it became his license.

The Path

More than a decade in, long before the degree.

2012

Certified Personal Trainer

Joe started where this all began — coaching people on movement and fitness, more than a decade before he ever held a PT license.

2013

EMT Certified

Emergency medical training added a new lens: how the body responds under acute stress, and how often the system has no time to ask why.

2015–2018

Structure & Wildland Firefighter

Three years in fire service, seeing firsthand what the human body can endure — and what it costs to push through pain instead of addressing it.

2018

Kinesiology Degree

Joe formalized years of hands-on coaching with a degree in exercise science, sharpening the foundation he'd already been building since 2012.

2022

Doctor of Physical Therapy

Joe earned his DPT from Idaho State University, going on to become a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and Dry Needling Certified — turning a decade of hands-on experience into a clinical license.

Today

Root-Cause, Integrated Care

Joe combines orthopedic expertise with movement, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine — treating pain, fatigue, and stress as connected, not separate problems.

Off the Clock

Joe's also a lifelong athlete — a state cross-country champion and collegiate pole-vaulter who's trained in everything from martial arts to mountain biking. Most of what he prescribes, he's tested on himself first.
