MY STORY
The road that led to Cornerstone.
From an early age, sports were a major part of my life. That passion evolved into a love for strength training and exercise, which naturally led me toward a career in physical therapy. I was fascinated by the way the human body adapts, recovers, and performs.
Today, I continue to choose physical therapy because I enjoy helping people overcome physical limitations and regain confidence in their bodies. Whether someone is returning to sport, getting back in the gym, or simply moving through daily life with less pain, I take pride in educating my clients, empowering them to take control of their health, and guiding them toward their goals.

BEYOND THE CLINIC
Off the table, on the trail.
When I'm not in the clinic, you'll usually find me staying active, whether that's out on the golf course, logging miles on a run, or exploring new roads on my bike.
I also love traveling, trying new restaurants, and taking advantage of everything New York City has to offer, from great food to catching a show. And whenever I get the chance to slow things down, I'm usually hanging out with my golden doodle, Oliver, whether that's going for a walk, exploring somewhere new, or just relaxing at home.
