ABOUT GRANT

Simply put, Grant is a helpful person. He is a natural team player and is able to lead or support in order to fill in the gaps depending on what the team needs. Grant has over 9 years of clinical experience as a physical therapist. This role as a PT allows him to work toward his personal goal- to Help Build Others Up through the lens of movement and education. Grant sees his patients and clients as students of movement. This view allows him to help people of all ages in their pursuits toward reducing pain, becoming stronger, improving health and ultimately, realize their maximum potential and fully enjoy life.

Grant grew up in Maryland. He graduated from UMD College Park with a B.S. in Kinesiology in 2010. While studying Kinesiology he was fortunate enough to work as a research assistant at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where he aided with the study of gait and motion analysis of patients utilizing lower extremity prothetic devices. This experience catalyzed his interest in the nuance of human movement and aided in his pursuit toward the profession of physical therapy. Grant went on to graduate with a doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in 2014. He has continued to educate himself in order to maximize the results of his students. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA. He has earned certifications in orthopedic manual therapy (COMT) through Australian-Maitland Seminars, Dry needling (CMTPT) through Myopain Seminars, movement assessment and screening through Functional Movement Systems (SFMA & FMS-C, FCS), Blood flow Restriction training (BFRt), and foundations of heart rate variability (HRV), kettlebell instructor certification (SFG-I). Grant is constantly searching to further his education, which allows him to help build other's understanding of movement and strength as a skill.
 

Outside of his career pursuits, Grant's life can be described as simple. He enjoys relaxation, spending time with his wife and friends. When not relaxing he loves physical activity- most notably Ultimate Frisbee, Kettlebell training, and yard games. A perfect day for Grant would include- sun, ultimate, friends, family, beach, and a beer.
