I was born in Roseville, raised on a farm and then spent my teen years in Sacramento mostly causing trouble. My father was a lawyer and my mother an emergency room supervising nurse which explains my critical thinking—some say opinionated—and compassion to serve others.

Growing up “in the emergency room,” I saw and heard the behind the scenes stories of failed procedures, out-dated thinking, and the ever increasing dependence on stronger and stronger medications, more restrictive insurance, and administrative regulations that are now our modern medical system.

The youthful folly of recreational drug and alcohol use combined with my “medical upbringing” convinced me in my twenties that there is little to no difference between “good” drugs and “bad” drugs—they are all just drugs. Continued use of any drug will only create greater problems later on. Sadly, the very drugs that once promised better life are now the leading cause of death and disability in our modern medical system, killing hundreds of thousands more than cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and all other illicit drugs combined.

Early in college I learned about the miracle of life and how our bodies heal themselves more often than not. However, it took being exposed to traditional principled chiropractic philosophy, that I understood there was a method of returning the body’s natural healing ability, and that it could be employed to serve others without disempowering them, poisoning their bodies with drugs or even “natural remedies,” or removing body parts.

The most crucial step came when I gave my life to Christ Jesus in 1995, and I realized that human beings are not simply randomized chemical reactions feebly awaiting decay, disease, and disability. Quite the contrary! When provided a reasonable environment and properly functioning system within the order that God created, we can experience life at its fullest!

It is now my life’s goal to help remove as many obstacles to whole health from others’ paths as I can. You can rest assured; I want nothing less than the very best for you and your family!
