Occupational Therapy

Tom is from St. Paul Park, Minnesota, a small town located near St. Paul. He grew up playing hockey, baseball, as well as long-distance running in track and cross country. Ultimately, Tom attended undergraduate at the University of St. Thomas, followed by obtaining his graduate degree in Physical Therapy from Pacific University School of Physical Therapy. Before becoming a physical therapist, Tom worked as a computer programmer and analyst, possessing a highly analytical and mechanical mindset. He takes pleasure in fixing and inventing things and finds joy in coaching and teaching. Tom’s skill set aligned perfectly with physical therapy, a profession that he feels intrinsically rewards him with feedback and gratitude, as he assists individuals in returning to their work, sports, daily activities, and quality of life, whether as co-workers, teammates, moms, dads, or grandparents. One of Tom’s cherished quotes is, “There is no greater feeling than the one you get by serving others in need.”
