GET TO KNOW
BRIAN
I love having fun with kiddos, telling dumb jokes, wearing crazy socks and seeing the look of pride on a patient’s face after overcoming a tough injury. I also really enjoy mentoring young people and seeing them grow up over the years.
I always have the best interest of the patient at heart. I want all young athletes to get back to their sport as quickly as possible, but at the same time be safe, be smart, and have a little fun along the way."
WHAT ARE YOU FAMOUS FOR AT CTPO?
Bad jokes, cool sneakers
FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK
Spending time with my wife, Holly, and daughter, Kamilla and having adventures together. I also enjoy cooking, reading, listening to music, and working out in my home gym.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST AT WORK
I value knowledge and education, so I always try and read the latest research in physical therapy. This helps my patients and I make the most informed and evidenced based decisions that we can to promote safety and health.
MOST HEARTWARMING MOMENT
When a young lady unfortunately tore her ACL last year, and then worked her tail off to get back onto the basketball court. On the day she passed her return to sport testing she was so excited and was overwhelmed with emotion. There was not a dry eye in the clinic.
