I am a Physical Therapist who trained in South Africa and graduated as a PT in 1992. I have worked in the sports rehabilitation & wellness industry for over 30 years. I use my specialty training in Orthopedics, Manual Therapy, Sports Rehabilitation, Foot Biomechanics & Personal Training to manage athletes and their injuries in the Grand Rapids area. During my time in West MI, I helped develop 2 key sports medicine programs in the West Michigan area.

In 2000, I founded PTSportsPRO, Inc., a one-on-one personal training service. I served as CEO & Trainer until I closed operations in 2015. In 2008, I also helped co-found myTEAM TRIUMPH, Inc.; a local Grand Rapids non-profit organization. This organization promotes racing opportunities with individuals with disabilities by using teams of Angels (able-bodied athletes) to help Captains (individuals with disabilities) compete in and complete local road races & triathlons. This is now a national organization with 14 chapters around the country. I currently serve as a member of the National Board of Directors of myTEAM TRIUMPH, Inc. and as President of the West Michigan Chapter.

In February 2023, I went into private practice and launched PTSportsPRO, PLLC; a sports & wellness center focused on helping athletes of all abilities in our community. Our practice thrives in the areas of physical therapy, performance testing & personal training.

I bring my passion and experience as a triathlete (Sprint Triathlons to Ironman 140.6 distances) and runner (completed 39 marathons since 2005 including the 56-mile Comrades Ultra-Marathon in 2010) to my patients & my community.
