I attended Palmer College, in Davenport, Iowa where I received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

Before that I was a school teacher. I taught industrial education with building construction, and graphic arts. We moved to Winnebago, Nebraska, and I was a bus driver, did janitorial work, kept score for football. I did a lot of things, and had a great time.

I injured myself a few times, as did my wife. We went to a chiropractor. I was amazed at the results I got. It fascinated me.

My older brother went into chiropractic, so I got good exposure to how the profession worked watching him.

I decided this would be a good thing for my family; something we could have a lot of fun doing, and also be able to help people with.

It's been very rewarding to see people progress in diet, nutrition, structure, and all aspects of life.

It all began a long time ago when I was in my teen-age years. I was out moving sprinkler pipe. They get pretty heavy. After a while my leg would give out on me. I'd walk, and it would shift, and I'd fall down.

After having that happen too much I said, "Hey, my dad's a chiropractor. Maybe I should go talk to him and see if he can help me with this. He gave me a few adjustments on my spine. My leg got stronger, and it quit buckling on me.

This was the experience in my life that taught me that chiropractic works really well. That was the point when I began thinking about becoming a chiropractor.
