Dr. Drew 2 Columbia!
Why did you want to become involved in physical therapy?
I became passionate about movement when I found CrossFit back in 2015. Ever since then I have loved coaching and helping people discover how good they can feel when they move their bodies regularly. I wanted to pursue PT because it was the profession that would allow me to have the best understanding of how people move as well as get people moving well again after injury.

Although that dream didn’t come true the path there lead him to finding CrossFit while he was in school at Ohio Northern University. I quickly became passionate about movement and performance when he began to learn the ins and out of this new sport.
