My quest to become a doctor of chiropractic began at the age of four when I began to suffer from chronic recurrent ear infections.  I went to the areas best and brightest doctors who kept me on constant antibiotics and put tubes into my ears… 9 times over 8 years!  Eventually I had part of my right mastoid (a bone in the skull behind the and above the ear) removed due to the chronic infections.  For the majority of my childhood I could not swim, or shower without custom made ear plugs.  Then, at the age of 13 I met Dr. Fred Cox (a famous place kicker for the MN Vikings) who told my parents “ I haven’t met a boy like this yet who I couldn’t fix”.  I began chiropractic treatments immediately.  With in the year, I finally learned how to swim because I no longer feared what the water would do to me.  I was set free from the constant torment of ear pain. 

At the age of 16 I made my decision that I would become a Doctor of Chiropractic and have never regretted the decision.
