PHYSICAL THERAPIST

I was born and raised in Pearl City, Hawaii, and graduated from Damien Memorial High School. From there, I went on to obtain my Bachelor of Health Science degree and a Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy from Pacific University in Oregon.

I have always loved helping people and seeing them smile. In high school, I volunteered at Tripler Army Medical Center and just knew that this was my calling. Although I have worked in all areas of physical therapy for more than 20 years, outpatient physical therapy has always been my passion. It is so fulfilling to see someone come full circle from pain and suffering to feeling great and returning to their activities.

In 2004, we founded Ewa Beach Physical Therapy to fulfill a need in the community. I love how we treat everyone with care and compassion, like they are a part of our family. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to work with such amazing coworkers, doctors and patients. What a blessing it is to have a job that you truly love!

In my spare time, I enjoy going to church, golfing and spending as much time as possible with my family, as my kids are growing up way too fast!

CLINICAL DIRECTOR

PHYSICAL THERAPIST

I studied business-economics before obtaining my doctoral degree in physical therapy. I worked in the public accounting industry for many years as a CPA, but ultimately felt unfulfilled in my career. After introspection, research, and conversations with family and friends, I realized physical therapy was something I was extremely passionate about. As a lifelong athlete who has suffered a multitude of injuries, I understand firsthand the value of physical therapy, and ultimately decided to pursue a career in the industry so I could impact others in a meaningful and fulfilling way. As a fitness enthusiast, I love exercising, lifting weights, and playing sports (mostly basketball and golf these days, but pretty much any sport). I also enjoy traveling, eating (sushi is my favorite!), listening to music, playing guitar, and dancing. But my favorite thing of all is spending time with my beautiful wife and our two adorable dogs!

PHYSICAL THERAPIST

I was born and raised in Mililani, Hawaii, and received my doctoral degree in physical therapy from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. I was first introduced to physical therapy after multiple knee injuries while playing soccer. I became a physical therapist because I enjoy exercising and wanted to share my knowledge with others by providing them with the tools to succeed on their own. When I’m not at work, I enjoy eating, working out, hiking, and playing video games.

LEAD PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT

A high school football injury and subsequent physical therapy sessions inspired me to become a physical therapy assistant. I hold a BS in kinesiology and rehabilitation science from the University of Hawaii, am an Otago trained therapist, and have experience working in outpatient and skilled nursing facilities. I enjoy the laid-back, friendly environment of Ewa Beach Physical Therapy because it hardly feels like work when you get to spend the day with great people — both patients and coworkers. When I’m not at work, I like spearfishing, hiking, golfing, and spending time with my wife and dog.

PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT

I was born and raised on the Island of Hawaii. I was very physically active growing up, causing me to deal with my fair share of injuries. This gave me insight and a greater sense of empathy for those in pain. I received my bachelors in Kinesiology from UH Hilo with a focus in sports medicine and exercise science. After that I moved to Oahu to obtain my PTA degree and license. I love working at Ewa Beach Physical Therapy because I love working with the people of Hawaii. It's also great being able to work one-on-one with patients, which helps to provide that extra level of care. Outside of work you can find me on the beach, in the ocean, or at the gym.

PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT

Born and raised on the island of Oahu, I graduated from Kapolei High School and initially attended Leeward Community College to pursue a degree in Business Management. I eventually felt unhappy and stressed, so I decided to take a break from school to recollect myself and figure out my next step. During this time I injured my lower back skateboarding. After some research I was able to gradually rehabilitate myself. That eventually led me to pursue a Physical Therapy Assistant degree at Kapiolani Community College. Through my education I hope to help others stay happy and healthy throughout their lives, as well as achieve the same goal I have for myself, to live to 100 years old and still be walking.

I enjoy golfing both seriously and recreationally, going on hikes around the beautiful island of Oahu, long-boarding on occasion, and trying new food places (I love recommendations).

OFFICE MANAGER

I started my career in working with people in the food industry. While in that field, I worked for many years all the way up to becoming General Manager. After a few years doing that, I realized I needed a change. That's when I found Ewa Beach Physical Therapy. I was drawn to the team after reading the glowing reviews that patients had left saying how friendly and "homey" the staff made them feel. Since I began working here, the staff has been nothing but kind, patient and welcoming. They made me feel like I'm part of the family since day one. When I am not at work, I enjoy drinking coffee, doing yoga, and going to the beach.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

I was born and raised in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and graduated from James Campbell High School. Over the following years, I went on to work in the food, restoration and tourism industries. Although I gained a lot of experience and knowledge in these fields, I never felt that personal connection that I found with Ewa Beach Physical Therapy. From day one, the staff were so friendly and kind, I immediately felt like part of the family. The best part of it all is watching our patients regain their strength and confidence again.
Outside of work, I enjoy video games, traveling, and fitness, I am an avid runner so you’ll always see me on the treadmill!
