About Me:
Austin grew up in Colorado and moved to Arizona for his last clinical rotation with Spooner in the Fall of 2021. He received his Bachelors in Exercise Science at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN. He played football at Colorado Mesa while also working outside service and pro shop over the summers at his local golf course in Castle Rock, CO. He has developed a strong passion for golf and moved to Arizona to further pursue this passion. Austin’s relationships with each of his patients is his greatest priority. As a long-term PT patient himself, he is passionate about addressing each patients’ unique functional limitations and helping them return to what they love to do.
