Eric is a raging extrovert and has a strong, intrinsic desire to be with people and help them. Becoming a physical therapist was a no-brainer—it’s active and thought-provoking, but most importantly, it helps heal people and bring back joy in their lives. He especially enjoys members that have been through tough trials, and feels he can help refocus their mindset to get them on the path to recovery.

Eric has been a physical therapist since 2009. He has been in several different orthopedic settings, and has been with Crossover Health since 2015. He uses a combination of manual therapy, pain science education, and exercise to return members to their optimal health.        

A native of southern California, the draw of the great outdoors drew Eric north. He loves to surf, backpack the Sierras, run trails, listen to MoTown, play Volenis, star gaze, and most importantly, spend time with his wonderful family. He has an adorable dog, Marti Mcfly, a fearless and high-energy daughter, and a lovely and amazing wife. Eric and his family love to serve their community and are active in their faith at Westgate Church.

What makes me unique:
I have the magical ability to make friends with anyone. I really love being around people, and my friends sometimes have to hold me back from inviting everyone to events that I organize, such as annual river floats, backpacking, and broom hockey. The more the merrier!

Why do I practice healthcare:
I love what I do because I absolutely get a thrill from seeing people recover, get better, and bring joy back to their lives.
