I discovered the field of prosthetics and orthotics while in high school. A TV program I watched depicted a
clinician fabricating and adjusting a prosthesis. Immediately, I knew that I wanted to be a part of this field. I began my journey by studying Electronics Engineering at the University of Nebraska at Omaha with dreams to design new prosthetic components. During my sophomore year, I shadowed at a local O&P clinic. When I saw a young man stand on an above-knee prosthesis for the first time and smile as he learned to walk, I knew that I wanted to be a clinician. I had found a career that blended my passion for problem-solving with hands-on work in a way that serves others.

I worked as a tech support analyst here in Omaha while preparing for graduate school. I then moved to Dallas to
attend the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where I earned my Masters in Prosthetics and
Orthotics in 2015. Following graduation, I returned to the Midwest and completed my prosthetic and orthotic
residencies in Kansas City. There, I learned from many different mentors and worked with a wide demographic of
patients. I became the Chief Resident and was responsible for mentoring and guiding my fellow residents along
the path to certification.

As a first-generation American born and raised in Omaha, I was delighted to return in 2019 and to practice O&P in my hometown. My wife and I are thrilled to be raising our kids in the city where we grew up. It is my joy to bring Limb Lab’s patient-focused team and personalized care to the amazing healthcare community in Omaha.
