In 1985 while working aboard Merchant ships I decided to get healthy, and really understand what it meant to be healthy. After just a few years out of college and working a profession, my health had gone a little downhill. I began learning massage therapy and became a personal trainer. I was fortunate to work with powerlifters and bodybuilders as well as the general public. I began to witness what worked and also what did not work in developing a better body. An avid marathoner, I developed an interest in optimal nutrition, health, and sports conditioning and as a result, I decided to pursue a Doctorate in Chiropractic and more certification and education as a personal trainer, cycling coach, running coach and nutritionist. I received my Doctorate from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1991 and further certified as a Health and Fitness instructor with the American College of Sports Medicine. I am also a certified Strength and Conditioning specialist and hold a B.S. in both Human biology and Nautical Industrial Technology.

I became board certified as a Certified Clinical Nutritionist and the study of nutrition and exercise became a central pillar of my practice and personal philosophy. I have worked with athletes at every level to provide sports conditioning and rehabilitation, as well as treating conditions including headaches/migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, neck and lower back injuries, shoulder, wrist, and knee injuries. In my clinic I utilize human performance testing, nutritional testing and counseling, personal training, coaching and metabolic testing services. At the Austin Wellness Clinic, I also specialized in nutrigenomics, or the interaction between genetics and nutrition. Along with Dr. John Haest, an MD, we have been developing protocols for adrenal function, anti-aging, hormone balance, human performance, allergy resolution, detoxification, and neurotransmitter balance.

I have come to refer to myself as a wellness advisor. I am most interested in helping people discover wellness and advance beyond never-ending treatments. I see a way to prevent and improve chronic disease, this has become my passion.
