• Physical Therapist and Area Manager

YourHomeExerciseProgram.com

• Owner

  • Jan 2009 - Jan 2017

  YourHomeExerciseProgram.com was developed out of a vision that there had to be a better way to support people in their own healing with modern web based tools. So instead of a PT handing you a hand drawn or photocopied exercise that did an OK job of helping you carry over your learning into to your life, they could have you connect to your personal program on the web with video, audio, written, and picture instruction. Research has shown that this type of learning reinforcement creates a much better chance that the client will both do the program and do it more accurately then a purely paper based system. I also wanted this to be very affordable and easy to use for the practitioner. Show less

The Active Leader

• Leadership Development Consultant

  • Sep 2013 - Sep 2015

  I enjoy working and connecting with people who know that life calls on all of us to lead. Effective principle based leadership makes all the difference in moving individually and corporately toward a worthy purpose. Like any skill, the principles of leadership and growth can be learned and honed. My role is to help you identify that purpose and the principles you can apply to achieve that vision and give you a tool set to work with. As a physical therapist you find the areas of function that need care and work with the client to optimize the needed movement. In this role we look at the same idea, we just apply it to the heart and mind which leads to business success and ultimately life success. Show less

  Teaching and learning are life passions. Just like a great cook should love to eat good food, a good teacher needs a love of learning. I was privileged to instruct with one of the most talented people I know, Greg Johnson. In addition the other staff was a cast of all stars in the world of PT. The "students" were always motivated professionals who came to get better at serving people. What a great gig! Teaching and learning are life passions.

Zablocki Wood VA Medical Center

• PT

  • 1980 - 1983

  My first PT job and it was great. My first mentor in PT was Dan Strelnick, the Chief PT at the VA. He had a big heart, a passion for excellence, and total belief and commitment for his staff. He inspired you to be your best. I worked with the vets that served our country, an honor. I worked in neuro rehab, post surgical care, and spinal cord injury. I was surrounded by excellent professionals that helped me grow into a person that would learn, grow, and serve those in need. Thank you Dan, Ron, Dennis, and my fellow VA SPA teammates. Show less
