When I enrolled at Life Chiropractic College West at 59 years young, I had no prior background in chiropractic. But I possessed a wealth of life experience and an unwavering determination to fulfill my dreams. I made a bold commitment to pursue this path without any guarantees of success.
At 63, I continue to embrace my journey with passion and purpose. I will be honored to serve as a Preceptor and, soon, as a Licensed Chiropractor at Cooperstown Chiropractic in Fullerton, California, under the mentorship of Dr. Ken Cooper. Our lives have been intertwined for nearly 15 years, beginning when I had the privilege of coaching his sons in football and wrestling at one of the nation’s premier academic and athletic private high schools.
My foundation was built through the challenges of athletics and academics. As a former collegiate athlete and high school coach, I led with honor, character, integrity, and accountability. Now, as a future Cooperstown Preceptor, I will humbly learn from Dr. Cooper and the exceptional team, striving to lead others and live with love and a passion for chiropractic as a devoted man of faith.
Service has always been central to my life. Over a 32-year counseling/coaching career, I’ve had the privilege of guiding thousands of athletes and their families across the country. Many have witnessed my transformation, especially since Cooperstown facilitated this miracle in my late 50s. Not only did I return to school after retiring from coaching, I also developed a newfound passion I am wholeheartedly committed to sharing, the message of chiropractic.
My dream is now a reality. As a future integral part of the Cooperstown Chiropractic team, I am dedicated to igniting the fire of chiropractic philosophy and healing, one adjustment at a time.
