Josh was born and raised in Wichita. He discovered his passion for physical therapy while taking his grandmother to her appointments. Josh was drawn to the amount of time a physical therapist gets to spend with their patients, getting to know them while addressing their symptoms and goals, and teaching them how to care for themselves after their time in therapy has ended.

While in school, Josh experienced a diverse series of clinical settings. He has experience working with patients suffering from neurological injuries in an inpatient rehab setting, he has worked with back pain frequently in the context of workplace injuries and motor vehicle accidents, and he has worked with a wide array of post-surgical patients in order to help him learn to optimize their recovery. While Josh enjoyed each of these settings, his favorite part was being able to synthesize what he learned to treat the entire patient simultaneously.

When not in the clinic, you can find Josh coaching tennis for Wichita Collegiate and screaming from the stands of Koch Arena any time the Shockers are playing at home. He enjoys anything he can do outside, especially tennis or sand volleyball. When the weather is nice you can find him on a patio, when the weather isn’t nice you can find him complaining about the weather.
