Many people have been asking me what the bars in the garden are for. There bars are not a trellis for growing vegetables.

The bars are pull up bars, plain and simple.

It is my belief there are not enough publicly accessible pull ups bars... So, I decided to be the change I want to see in the world.

If you are coming for an appointment, walking through the neighborhood, or driving by stop by to work on your pull ups. Can't do a pull up? No problem. These bars are here for you to practice. A simple dead hang is great for stretching & decompressing the spine. Hanging from a bar will help improve your grip strength. Studies have shown a direct correlation between grip strength and longevity... So stop by the office to help you live longer!

I will be adding more fitness equipment over the coming years. There are no fitness trails in the community, so I figured I'd just build my own instead.

Feel free to stop by and use the equipment at your own leisure and risk.

Don't want to do pull ups alone? No worries. Pop your head into the office and I'll gladly do them with you.

Sue is at it again this summer. Each year Sue uses the gardens are her canvas to create a new and unique design.

This year Sue created a dragon in the front bed, a tree in the back bed, waves beneath the sign, and a sun burst on the side lot. She has certainly outdone herself this year! The attention to detail is unlike anything you'll see anywhere else.

New hibiscus flowers are popping open every morning. Be sure to stop by to check out this year's design.

Thank you, Sue!

Again, thank you, for all of the outpouring of support and well wishes over the past week and a half.

I returned to the office last week on a limited basis, but this week I am resuming a full schedule!

I'm not experiencing any physical lingering effects from the stroke and my energy seems to be back to normal as well. I have also resumed my normal workout routine with slight modifications with the support of the doctors.

I'll be seeing you soon!

If you have heard the rumors, they are true.

On Thursday, July 17th, I suffered a mild stroke likely caused by a patent foramen ovale within my heart (a hole between the right and left atrium...a hole that I was born with).

I was performing push ups at the time of developing stroke like symptoms around 5:30 AM. Quick recognition of the symptoms and an immediate reaction to getting to the hospital promptly, I was administered TNK by 6:50 AM.

Time is of the essence when it comes to stroke treatment. It was the quick treatment and my fitness level that allowed for such mild damage and a quick recovery.

I have essentially made a full recovery with limited residuals. If you were to look at me and talk with me, you wouldn't think I suffered a stroke...but alas I did. The biggest lingering effect is fatigue.

I will be back in the office this week, but I'll be easing into returning to a full schedule. Feel free to reach out to me to schedule or feeling free to schedule online. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

I've already adjusted my kids, Preston and Peyton, so the hands still have the speed!

It will take a lot more than a mild stroke to knock this guy down!

See you soon!

The office location is currently experiencing a power outage. The best part about chiropractic is that it is natural. I will remain open during the power outage because all we need is a flat surface and my hands.

I will be unable to process payments or schedule follow up appointments. I will be able to return emails, text messages, FB messages, and make phone calls via my cell phone.

See you soon.

A reminder I am out of the today Monday, June 16th. We are taking Preston to Slippery Rock University for his college orientation.

The schedule for this week is filling up. I have a handful of appointments remaining in the mornings of Thursday and Friday.

I will be out of the office all next week for our annual vacation. Please be sure to schedule as soon as you can. I will do my best to accommodate people early, during my lunch break, and staying late.

My schedule will ease up in July. Be proactive instead of reactive.

I've been taking off the last Friday off each month since 2022. I initially did this to train for Ironman in order to not take so much family time away on the weekends. After Ironman was completed, I kept the tradition of taking off the last Friday of the month to do a long bike ride. Many of you have asked where I ride... So I figured I'd start sharing the adventure with you.

Friday took me on a 115 mile ride around West county. My goal is to ride every road in Erie County. There are approximately 2830 miles of ridable roads in Erie County. I have completed 86% of the roads or about 2,430 miles.

Be patient with my June schedule. This Friday I'm out of the office for Preston's high school graduation.

Please try to schedule proactively to ensure the best chance of getting on the schedule.

The unofficial summer season has been ushered in with this Memorial Day.

I'm out of the office this Friday. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week are already fully booked. I have begun a cancellation/"can you squeeze me in" list. I will do my best to accommodate everyone by coming in early, working through my lunch break, and staying late. Unfortunately, I still cannot create time.

Please schedule in advance to ensure you are able to get on the schedule. I understand you don't schedule accidents nor do you plan on sleeping funny, but a proactive approach towards health is always better than reactive.

With this week already being booked, next week will begin to fill up quickly.

This is going to be a great summer!

Summer season is upon us! Here is my schedule for the summer months.

June is going to be an unusually busy month for me with a graduating senior, vacation, and other summer shenanigans.

Please take note of the days I'll be closed.

I recommend booking appointments now. You don't want to go on your vacations or camping trips in pain.

I'll do my best to accommodate everyone, but I cannot create time at the last minute.

Let's make this one crazy summer!

I was recently honored by Achilles Running Shop with this local spotlight. Members of the outdoor fitness group Team Adrenaline nominated me for this. To say I was honored, flattered, and humbled is an understatement.

I have been in business for 22 years and this shout out was one of the greatest honors because of who nominated me. Thank you!

I am driven by the desire to help people accomplish things they never thought they could or would do. I enjoy helping people shatter their own glass ceilings...whether it is through decreased pain, increased fitness, or just overall improved health. I lead from the trenches and will always be here with you to help you be YOUR best.
