He opened the doors of Envision Chiropractic in 2025. Today the practice has grown to over a hundred raving five-star reviews — the vast majority of which use one phrase: he actually listens.

Fly fishing & salmon runs across Whatcom and Skagit. The PNW's best therapy room.
Snowboarding at Baker every winter weekend it'll cooperate. Patients who shred — he gets it.
Traveling — anywhere with mountains, fish, or breaks. New cities, new spines, new perspectives.
