I'm Dr. Mike. I was born in Wilmington, but grew up in JoCo. I studied Chiropractic at Life University, where I founded and was president for the Motion Palpation Institute (MPI) Club. I am now an assistant instructor for MPI. 

​

While studying at NC State, I was a personal trainer with a specialization in rehab and obtained my Crossfit Level 1 and Movement & Mobility certifications. I am a former Injury Moderator for Stefi Cohen's Hybrid Performance Method, where I corrected form and assisted people in rehabilitation exercises or sent them to the correct specialist. 

​

When I'm not in the office, I enjoy rolling at Lepri BJJ Raleigh (Team Casarez), lovingly bothering my wife, and playing with my 100-lb cane corso rescue. If there's one thing I love doing, it's helping people stay active in whichever form of exercise they choose.
