Growing up in South Dakota, I always enjoyed working with my hands and helping whenever I was able to. As a young boy, my grandfather had a few of his fingers amputated due to a farming accident. While he was able to get by just fine, I always thought about regaining his ability to use his hand to the fullest again. My first real introduction to the O&P field didn’t occur until later when I was visiting my sister in Rochester. My family and I were able to walk through Limb Lab, and I fell in love with the field and knew immediately that this was going to be my future career. After receiving my undergraduate degree at the University of South Dakota, I went on to get my Master’s Degree at Concordia University in St. Paul. My main goal is to help patients regain their mobility and get them back to doing what they love. Limb Lab’s collaborative approach fosters a positive environment that benefits the team and their patients. It truly is an honor to be a part of Limb Lab’s prestigious residency program.
