STAFF SPOTLIGHT!!
We are so grateful that Sam chose us! He is already proven to be a great teammate and PT!
Sam is a recent Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate from Northern Arizona University’s – Phoenix campus. Sam’s journey to becoming a DPT was not a linear one, but one that took time and patience to discover where his real passion lay. After gaining his undergraduate degree back in 2016 Sam immediately stepped into the world of sales. During almost 10 years of sales experience, Sam gained a valuable understanding about the power of communication, building trust, and creating relationships with clients, which are skills he is excited to transfer over to his patients as a PT.
Once Sam decided to make a career change to PT, he faced the long journey head on and never looked back. From day one of his PT program, he had an idea of the population, facility, and culture he wanted to associate himself with when he became a licensed PT, and DPR checked all of those boxes and more. Further, becoming a PT at Dynamic was a full circle moment for Sam, as he was treated by Ashley for his own shoulder injury close to 8 years ago, became a student at DPR during rotations, and was then hired on as the newest member of the team. Sam cannot think of a better place or a better staff to learn from, grow with, and to assist him in becoming the best clinician he can be.
When he isn’t in the clinic, Sam enjoys anything that keeps him active. Whether it is golf, pickleball, flag football or just going on a long walk with his Mini Aussie Kinzie, Sam likes to practice what he preaches when it comes to moving his body. He has been a long time fitness enthusiast and is always looking for ways to keep his competitive edge alive. If he isn’t being active, Sam can most likely be found spending time with his family and friends.
Sam is beyond excited to start his PT career at DPR alongside the most knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated staff there is!
