Jason is originally from Omaha, Nebraska and after a 2-year stop in Jacksonville, Florida where he worked in an outpatient orthopedic clinic; he loaded up his car and brought his dog, Duke, with him to Phoenix in April. He received a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and has a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Creighton University.  His continuing education coursework has included a manual therapy certification course, Egoscue technique, and golf specific rehabilitation. 

Jason has had multiple surgeries on his knees, shoulders and right ankle from sports related injuries and has extensive experience being a patient versus the Physical Therapist. In his spare time Jason is an avid golfer and as long as it's warmer than 40 degrees outside you can find him on the course or at the driving range.  He recently returned to running, hiking and biking after having his right ankle reconstructed last September.  During the fall and winter he enjoys watching the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Duke Blue Devils or Green Bay Packers whenever possible.

She then transferred back home and attended Arizona State University. She graduated cum laude with a degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise science. She is now continuing her education and pursuing her nursing degree.
