Biography

I bring an expertise on anatomy, with a special focus on functional anatomy (Kinesiology), as well as an interest in orthopedics, modalities and the healing process. I have spent the last decade as an Athletic Trainer and love to bring my experiences working with a wide range of patients and sport settings to the class room. It is my focus to teach these subjects through direct hands-on learning opportunities and using a variety of 21st century teaching techniques to help a variety of student learners.

I am the proud dad to three great kids who love all things Simpson! In my free time, my wife and I enjoy spending time with our family in the outdoors through activities such as hiking, biking, and traveling/camping. In addition to staying busy with my family, I love to cook and entertain for family and friends. Lastly – I find myself enjoying being handy and taking on small carpentry projects whenever possible.
