Outside of work he enjoys gaming, thrifting, listening to podcasts and hanging with friends at local breweries.
“Prior to Fusion I had never worked in a clinical setting before and was very nervous. During my first couple of weeks as a Tech, all of the staff here were very inviting and my nerves were easing away in no time.
This company is like no other I’ve worked for! There is a perfect balance of professionalism, kindness, humor and humility in the air at all times and it has cultivated a great working environment.
Our therapists are full of knowledge and I have learned so much just working alongside them for the last couple of months. The patients have given me a gentle push to go back to school with their kind words of wisdom and appreciation for the work I’ve done.
All of the positive reinforcement I receive from my fellow staff members and our patients has given me the motivation to go back to school and pursue my dream of being a PTA.
I plan to finish my prerequisites at Germanna and eventually apply to their PTA program. I have seen Physical Therapy work wonders on my own family members who had multiple surgeries and that is what initially sparked my interest in the field.
I hope to continuing making my own mark on peoples’ lives in the same way, along their health and wellness recovery journeys.”

I wanted to become a physical therapy technician to learn more about PT and to become a part of something great. The things that caught my attention were the core values they hold themselves to; not only in the workplace but in life as well. Walking into the office on teh day of my interview it showed me very clearly these people hold themselves to these values and I knew that was a place I wanted to be.”
