I found my way to a John Barnes trained myofascial release therapist after many years of shoulder pain from a weight lifting strain and being unable to find a solution for my pain to go away.  I had pain in day to day activities, such as throwing the football, baseball, or frisbee in our backyard with our kids. This pain went on for about ten years, I tried many different traditional therapies, and I was beginning to believe that I would have this pain for the rest of my life. After myofascial release treatment with a John Barnes trained myofascial therapist, my pain went away. That was my aha moment that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life and began traveling across the country and training in John's method of myofascial release and started my own myofascial release practice. I began working out of our home and have recently completed construction of a detached office building beside our home with a beautiful view of our pasture and two horses.

I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill for college, Duke for graduate school, ECPI for information technology training, and the NC Massage School for massage therapy training. I have taken zillions of continuing education classes over my lifetime and am an avid learner. I have worked in IT, had an IT and ebay powerselling business, worked at the YMCA, attended an archaeology dig overseas, translated in ancient languages, and even spent a few years taking classes and performing in improvisation, standup comedy, sketch comedy, community theater, and writing a few unproduced, stage plays.

Later on in life, I decided to make a change and enrolled at the NC Massage School to become a massage therapist and trained in different healing modalities during and after massage therapy school that continued to open my awareness until finding my way to the John Barnes method of myofascial release. I wholeheartedly believe in John's method and now offer myofascial release sessions in a quiet office setting. 

I have completed over 442 hours of training in Myofascial Release I X 2, Myofascial Release II X 2, Myofascial Release III, Myofascial Unwinding X 2, Advanced Myofascial Unwinding X 2, Fascial-Pelvis X 2, Cervical-Thoracic, Fascial Cranium x 2, Pediatric Myofascial Release, Myofascial Mobilization X 2, Myofascial Rebounding X 2, Women's Health Seminar, Quantum Leap! Seminar, Myofascial Healing Seminar, Therapy for the Therapist program, the Skill Enhancement Seminar X 2, and seminar assists.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and camping with my wife and two children in the Great Smokey mountains, touring Europe, and going to Walt Disney World. When not working, you can find me helping my family care for our retired show horse, Callaways Ike the Sixth, and our newest haflinger horse, Gus Gus.

I look forward to meeting you and seeing you soon for future myofascial release sessions.
