After graduating physical therapy school in 2000 from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio with a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy, Chad went on to pursue an advanced certification in a three year residency program with a focus on Manual Therapy (using hands-on techniques to change the way the body functions) and Orthopedics. After successfully completing his Manual Therapy Residency program, Chad became a Fellow in the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists, an honor shared only by about 400 other therapists in the nation. At that time he also tested for, and successfully passed, his Orthopedic Clinical Specialist examination, to give him the distinguished honor of being an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, a certification shared by about 3% of the physical therapists in the nation.

In 2002, Chad decided to pursue the dream of opening his own outpatient physical therapy practice in Helotes, Texas. The practice quickly flourished developing a good reputation for providing "Hands on Care for Faster Results." His experience and knowledge have allowed him to work with a variety of patients throughout the San Antonio community to include players from the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, the Chicago White Sox, and Olympic athletes. He has also worked with PGA golfers, professional boxers, professional soccer players, been on the therapy team for the San Antonio Ballet, and has worked with numerous collegiate and high school athletes. Additionally, he has worked with a multitude of other patients of all ages and activity levels in the community.

Today, Chad is the co-owner of four outpatient physical therapy clinics around San Antonio, Texas and the manager of a fifth clinic owned by a group of investors. As a result of the tremendous expansion of his businesses, Chad now spends the majority of his time working with his physical therapy team to ensure that each location still provides the high quality of care its clients have come to expect.

In 2008, Chad founded The Back University at www.TheBackUniversity.com with the intent to better educate the public on how to eliminate and prevent the recurrence of back pain, as well as to change the way that back pain is treated in our society. One of the main goals of The Back University is to empower people to take control of their back pain safely and effectively. He also authored the book, 7 Secrets to Eliminating Low Back Pain: The Safe and Effective Step-by-Step Guide.

When he is not spending his time working in and on his business and with patients, he enjoys time with his wife and three year old son, working out, being outdoors, as well as participating in ministry work through his church.
