After more than 25 years on the faculty at Drexel University — where I served as Vice Chair of the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences and Director of Operations for the Doctor of Physical Therapy program — I found myself missing the part of the work that mattered most to me: sitting across from a patient and helping them get back to the things they love.

I’m a board-certified orthopaedic specialist with a particular passion for runners. At Drexel, I taught the musculoskeletal curriculum, oversaw the department’s clinical practice operations, and performed biomechanical evaluations through the Running Performance and Research Center. I’ve spent my career not just doing this work, but training the next generation of physical therapists in it.

At McKenzie, I’m back where I started — in the clinic, with patients. That’s where I’ve always loved being, and I’m grateful for the chance to do it again.
