He served the Homer Center School District in 2001-02 through Keystone Rehabilitation, then joined SVC through the Laurel Highlands Health Center in 2002.

He says, "Working with the Saint Vincent College athletic teams has been a fantastic experience for me.  I virtually work with all 20 teams to some degree.  This could not be possible without a great sports medicine support staff.  The athletic training facility is one of the best in the region, which is also a great asset.  But to help the student-athletes become better players, as well as better individuals, is probably the most rewarding benefit of working here."
