Meet Your Doctor

We’ve all been asked: ‘is Williamsport a big town or a small city?’ It certainly becomes a city two weeks a year, and it's a metropolis if you ask surrounding counties. But our community is more tight-knit than anywhere else I've lived. We rely on local businesses to protect, heal, feed, and entertain us. We run into more people than we may care to while grocery shopping. These little school rivalries feel heavy sometimes! And I have firsthand experience in seeing how we can come together when someone is in need. 'Big town' has my vote. And at the end of the day we’re better and safer from our connectedness.

Growing up, my youth soccer club sported the phrase ‘In the End, It’s Character’ on the back of our yellow cotton t-shirt jerseys. That stuck with me just as I know it did with many others and I decided from an early age I wanted to help people for a living. A few sports injuries exposed me to chiropractic care at a young age and at 14 I decided that’s what I wanted to pursue.

After graduating from South Williamsport in 2011, I received my bachelor’s degree in Health Science from the University of Hartford. I then moved up to the Finger Lakes to begin studies at New York Chiropractic College (now Northeast College of Health Sciences) and graduated in 2017. After a clinical rotation in Buffalo, I moved back to Williamsport where I worked for 7 years as an associate doctor in a private practice. I left in May of 2024 to put more focus on family, and in that time ended up beginning to execute an idea my wife and I have been dreaming about for nearly 10 years.

I am excited to present this dream in the form of Ascend Chiropractic & Wellness Center. It's an effort to establish a community around combatting the multitude of stressors and expectations that surround us on a daily basis. What is your mindset when you awake in the morning? Are you empowered and equipped to tackle your day head-on, to support your family, to set and complete goals, to love yourself and our planet, to act upon tomorrow not being guaranteed? To be bold or just think about being bold? To connect with someone rather than fight or judge them? To connect with yourself rather than fight or judge yourself?

To me chiropractic pairs perfectly with what is being referred to by some as 'biohacking.' Peter Attia defines this more fittingly as the pursuit of better 'healthspan.' Modern medicine has done a decent job at prolonging our 'lifespan,' which is simply how long we live. But for how long are we able to mentally, physically, and spiritually live our lives with full autonomy and independence? The way we want to. That's why we've paired gold-standard chiropractic care with carefully-selected holistic modalities that can increase our literal bioavailability to live better.

I have a daughter now! And I'd like to hike up a mountain, or put up a bench press, or inspire or influence or love HER potential future kids faster and harder and fuller someday than I do for her right now. That takes community, grit, and character, but that's what central PA is made of. If you share a similar mindset about longevity, please consider connecting with our small business and reach out to see how we can help.
