Joel grew up in the Pacific Northwest participating in sports and activities during all seasons. He has a background in both coaching and participating in swimming. He played club baseball in college and was a CrossFit coach for four years. Joel gained an interest in physical therapy in his late teens and early twenties while as a patient for many sports-related injuries and subsequent surgeries. Joel believes that everyone is an athlete and that everyone he treats should be an active participant in their recovery.
