If there is one thing us homesteaders understand, it’s that when a piece of machinery breaks down, fix it ourselves!

I bring that exact same "mechanic’s mindset" to human biomechanics at The Body Mechanic Chiropractic. I’m 32 years old, and my path to chiropractic actually started on the professional basketball court. After suffering a severe, career-altering injury, I found myself sidelined and incredibly frustrated by conventional medical approaches that just wanted to patch over my symptoms, rather than fixing the underlying problem.

That setback got me looking at the human body the same way a mechanic looks at a classic truck engine: if your suspension is out of alignment, your tires are going to wear down unevenly, and the whole system eventually grinds to a halt. Driven by a genuine curiosity about how the body actually heals and a desire to truly fix the machine from the chassis up, attended the prestigious New Zealand College of Chiropractic, which is known worldwide for its research on how your nervous system's health is the key to healing every system in your body. Today, I choose to run my practice on a highly selective, part-time basis—just 1 to 2 days a week. I have zero interest in running a high-volume assembly line where patients are just numbers. Instead, I treat my clinic like a specialty repair shop. I use my time to work with a select few individuals who are genuinely invested in getting their health sorted out and are worth the effort to heal.

When I’m not in the clinic tuning up a patient's chassis, I’m out living the North Idaho dream. I’ve spent the last few years developing a rugged homestead in the surrounding mountains of Fernwood, where I live with my three young children, two dogs, ten cats, and a flock of chickens. I understand the hard, physical toll that rural mountain life takes on a body. If you're ready to actually fix the root cause of your pain and get your engine running smoothly again!
