Personal Information

Activity

Currently Teaching (2012-2013)

  • HISTOLOGY 1
  • NEUROSCIENCE 1: PNS
  • PRINCIPLES AND PHILOSOPHY 4

My academic interests center on the neurobiology of pain and inflammation, neuroimmunology, and chiropractic history. I have been involved in mapping and studying the functions of Substance P and other neuropeptides associated with neurogenic inflammation and central facilitation. I am currently studying the neurobiological attributes of the subluxation.

Clinically, I have studied and currently practice Gonstead technique, applied kinesiology and traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to the academic courses, I have also taught extracurricular classes at Northwestern in traditional fly-tying and fly fishing.
