I am a leader, founder, and speaker whose counterintuitive approach has reshaped how people overcome pain without going to another doctor or giving up their active lives.

Since the founding of my company, Active Life, our team and I have helped tens of thousands of people. From the person who the fitness industry fails and the medical system has no desirable answers for, to the developing professional who is inspired to build a sustainable career, the program I the gaps neglected by fitness and medicine both find the success they have been looking for in working with Active Life through its innovative approach.

I began working as a personal trainer in 2005 and earned my Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine from The North East College of Health Sciences in 2009. By 2013, I had owned three CrossFit Affiliates and a physical rehabilitation clinic where I proved the concepts of my counterintuitive approach. In 2018, I exited these businesses to pursue Active Life full time.

The entire medical system and fitness industry approach pain from a physical perspective, focusing exclusively on damaged tissues. But I’ve come to understand that pain is much more than just physical. After about a decade of working with clients and patients, I realized that overcoming chronic pain is really an exercise in personal development. It requires physical work, and I, now we have helped thousands of people do that work. But what set me apart was how I helped people become the best versions of themselves along the way, allowing them to accomplish much more than they ever came to me for.

Over the years, I’ve worked with a diverse range of people seeking care and guidance, including Olympic medalists, professional baseball players, CrossFit Games champions, executives, other doctors and trainers, and, overwhelmingly, everyday people who were desperate to stop compromising on the lives they wanted to live because of their pain.

I’m a proud husband, and a grateful father of four.
