A little bit about me: I grew up in Chico and have been heavily involved in the world of sports here. Whether it's wrestling or jiu jitsu, running or swimming, rock climbing, softball, volleyball, pickleball, or just going on walks with my wife, I enjoy staying very active everyday.

What drew me to massage: Various injuries in those sports sparked an interest in massage that began with me giving massages to teammates during competitions and practices. It led me on a journey of finding healing in my own body through massage and physical therapy. I have now finished my studies at Chico Massage School in 2025, beginning my career as a CMT.
