    I'm more of spot n stalk type hunter. I like to hike to just get out or do some scouting and it's great exercise. I enjoy looking at topo maps and google earth to plan trips and check out the potential hunt areas I'm interested in. I tend to do a lot of bush-whacking to get to those hidden and remote spots.

  Physicians Review Network

  • Physical Therapy Case Reviewer

    • Jan 2014 - Present
    • Phoenix

    I review physical therapy cases to determine authorization, medical necessity, and if the standard of care is followed. After reviewing a physical therapists documentation I use current research literature to make a valid decision on whether the case is appropriate for physical therapy. Frequently there are several flaws in documentation that prevents me from authorizing or determining if the case shows medical necessity.
