Why did you choose your particular program at Arcadia?

I chose Arcadia University because of its highly rated physical therapy program and the flexibility of the hybrid pathway, which allowed me to complete coursework without relocating. In addition, the clinical education team is dedicated to securing high-quality placements that provide excellent learning experiences but also align with each student’s professional goals.

What do you hope to accomplish during your time here?

I hope to pursue a career working in the NFL as a physical therapist. During my time at Arcadia University, I have gained invaluable clinical experience that has prepared me for this goal. One of the most impactful opportunities was completing a clinical rotation in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars, which provided firsthand exposure to the demands and expectations of working at the highest level of sports physical therapy.

What do you do when you’re not in class?

In my free time, I enjoy going on new adventures and spending quality time with my family—my wife, Jessica, and our two sons, Archer and Beau.
