Welcome to Stretchlab Atlantic Beach

I have worked in Physical Therapy (tech/PA) for over 10 years. For my favorite activities; I prefer to be outside. walking my dogs, running, gardening or pretty much anything having to do with nature. If you find me inside I'll probably be doing yoga, cooking or reading. StretchLab is a fantastic place to work. I love helping people improve their flexibility and mobility, and educating them on their bodies. Seeing my clients make progress is very satisfying and rewarding.

I have been a Physical Therapist Assistant for the past 12 years. I worked at an outpatient orthopedic clinic in Syracuse, NY for 12 years. And then I moved to Jacksonville in 2019. To stay active I love to run, play soccer and perform my own workouts. I enjoy hiking and traveling with my wife, family and friends. My new hobby in Florida is 'Beach Bumming'.
