Ben
Ben grew up with an enthusiasm for being active and playing all sports. That is how he found his passion for working with people and eventually attaining his Associate of Science degree in Athletic Training at Modesto Junior College. From there he transferred to San Diego State University where he majored in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Physical Therapy. After graduating he worked in the SDSU Fitness Clinic for the Disabled. In that setting, Ben excelled in helping people with a wide variety of physical disabilities. He helped them reach their fitness and exercise goals by designing a specific program of strength, endurance, and flexibility to develop management skills for their disability. His experiences over the last ten years working in physical therapy clinics have given him the tools to help rehabilitate injuries and align athletes with their goals that have taken them to the next level. Ben enjoys working in his yard, gardening, running, and weightlifting (to keep up with his wife and son).
