I obtained my undergraduate degree from Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas with a Major in Biology, Health & Physical Education.  I did my Physical Therapy training at UT Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas.  I moved to Austin in 1975 and worked at the University of Texas Student Health Center doing Sports Medicine and Orthopedics with the Athletes and students until 1979.  At that time I had the opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary team  treating Chronic Pain Patients for the next 20 years.

I enjoy cycling and outdoors activities when I am not working at Reavis.  I have been with Reavis since 2005!
