I was a medic and EMT in the Army for six years in the 82nd Airborne Division and 5th Ranger Training Division. I found that it was very rewarding for me to be able to help someone heal from painful injuries or illnesses. So after the military I decided to pursue a career in the healthcare field. I attended college at Western Kentucky University taking every pre-medicine class they had to offer. Of course I spent many hours at different emergency rooms and hospitals to get volunteer experience following MD’s around while they treated patients. I had never considered chiropractic as a career until one of the school’s speakers invited some of us to visit his office. He asked me if I had any pain or aches that I had been dealing with. As a matter of fact, I had a lot of stiffness and pain every morning for about an hour until I got up and moving. I had dealt with those symptoms since airborne school and all throughout college.
