About
My allergies were so intense that to find me was to follow the trail of tissues: in my car, in my room, in every pocket of my pants, and eventually scattered all through the wash!! But then my horrible allergies improved!! I haven’t had allergy problems in 15 years!!!
Fifteen years ago I was working for a Chiropractor in order to apply for Physical Therapy school. He asked me to get adjusted. I said, “My back’s not hurting me!!” He said, “It’s not about your back, but your nerves that exit from it”. I didn’t understand and was a little apprehensive, but he was my Boss, so I agreed.
The adjustment didn’t hurt….
it actually felt good. Not being in any pain, I didn’t notice a difference. But then my horrible allergies improved!! I haven’t had allergy problems in 15 years!!! And my allergies were so intense that to find me was to follow the trail of tissues: in my car, in my room, in every pocket of my pants, and eventually scattered all through the wash!! I don’t worry about carrying around tissue, sneezing at important meetings, or having a head that feels like a huge water balloon anymore!
When I was a child, my mother had me tested for allergies by having over 20 long needles poked into my arms. For what? To have allergies every year of my life temporarily relieved by drugs?! I was so amazed with my results that I left my aspirations of PT to join the ranks of Chiropractic. I have been very blessed in my years as a doctor and thank God for the wonderful gift of helping others.
Davenport, Iowa or Dallas, Texas? I couldn’t decide whether to go to Palmer College or Parker College, respectively. As a young college graduate, I had already made my $20 non-refundable deposit to Scott Community College in Iowa to take a required Organic Chemistry class. Since I didn’t want to lose my deposit I decided to go to Palmer. It sounds crazy I know, yet that trivial amount of money was the tipping point to Life events that followed. Graduating from the first and prestigious college of Chiropractic – Palmer, joining the same Professional Chiropractic Fraternity as the developer of Chiropractic Dr. B.J.Palmer, meeting lifelong friends who would be partly responsible for my move to Florida, meeting my future wife in a neighboring town where she was going to college, and consequently our beautiful little girl Kaitlyn being born. It’s amazing to follow this 13 year path that lead me in part from $20 to the love of our lives.
Our Values at our Clinic
Every Office should have a mission statement that expresses there purpose, passion, and intentions.
Our mission statement is: “To Educate and adjust as many families as possible towards optimal health through natural chiropractic care and to tell others.”
Although we are not a religious institution, our office is governed by Christian principles and we strive to express our christian values through our service, our love of other human beings, and christian music. We enjoy helping all patients we feel are lead to our office. We also identify with hard working folks who engage in physical work and understand the need to maintain God’s greatest creation – you. I am very detailed in my analysis and care, so I enjoy patients that trust in my passion to help them as if they were one of my own family members by following doctor’s orders to maximize health benefits. We enjoy taking care of entire families. I will be completely honest with you. After 11 years of helping someone heal, while their entire families health went down the drain, really had a negative effect on me. The truth is I know that I could help many of their family members get better without drugs or surgery, yet I was never given the chance to do so. I can tell you that helplessness is one of the most frustrating aspects of being a care giver/healer. Watching someone get worse when the answer to their problems is right in front of you is heartbreaking. I promise not to quit on you nor your family members.
My Family
My Family, probably like your family, enjoys spending time with each other. In fact, as I type this to you now, I am looking forward to going home to play with my 2 year old daughter and my wife. She will probably want me to pick her up and fly her around the room (my daughter not my wife :) . Karen and I enjoy taking long walks around our block, and taking Kaitlyn to play in our neighborhood park. She likes to ride on my shoulders as I do my daily 2-4 mile runs. We watch movies together and cook tasty vegetarian meals. I enjoy playing x-box connecting online with my brother in-law Keith in Tampa and my cousin Sean in Ohio. My wife and I both do facebook. She is much better than me at it (I only check it a few times a month). As an analytical person, I really enjoy creating patient educational material on computers – video editing, etc. You may have met me out in the community through various charities, fundra5000 WORD LIMIT = visit web
