I grew up in San Jose, California, where I played competitive volleyball throughout my childhood and high school years. I continued playing at the collegiate level as a Division III setter at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, while earning my undergraduate degree in Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism. I then went on to earn a Master of Science in Human Nutrition before pursuing physical therapy.

I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Washington. During PT school, I gained clinical experience across outpatient orthopedics, neurologic rehabilitation, and pediatric acute care. I was involved in research examining gait training and visual cueing strategies for people with Parkinson disease, which further developed my interest in movement, rehabilitation, and evidence-based care.

My background in athletics, nutrition, and physical therapy has shaped the way I think about health and movement and allows me to bring a well-rounded perspective to helping patients reach their goals.

Clinical Experiences: Outpatient orthopedics, outpatient neurologic rehabilitation, and pediatric acute care.

Core Values: Growth and compassion are two values that are really important to me. I try to approach life with curiosity and the mindset that there is always something new to learn, whether through new experiences, challenges, or the people around me. I also value kindness and understanding toward others and strive to make genuine connections with the people I meet.

“It doesn’t hurt to ask!” I enjoy treating a variety of orthopedic and neurological conditions and love helping people get stronger, feel more confident in their movement, and get back to the activities they enjoy.

I love that Forefront takes individualized patient care seriously and work with the patient to reach goals meaningful to them. I appreciate the emphasis on building genuine relationships with people and providing thoughtful, high quality care.

Dan understands how hard it can be to be sidelined from an injury - he broke his back in 2005 and, after a lot of hard work, was skiing in New Zealand 6 months later. He understands the pain and frustration of a serious injury as well as what it takes to get better.

Dan is addicted to outdoor activities, lives to ski, played college soccer, and has a history of participating in all kinds of other sports - golf, tennis, basketball, trail running, triathlons, barefoot water-skiing, and many more.

Being active is why Dan became a physical therapist - he wants others to be able to share in his passion for movement and do so without pain or limitation.

He is motivated by patients’ stories - getting them back to doing what they love is why Dan puts so much time into learning about human movement.

His wife Anna is a nurse at Virginia Mason and she also loves outdoor activities and leading a healthy life. They have an amazing son, Caden, and they exercise as a family often!

“My goal is to make this world as good of a place as possible by helping those I am fortunate enough to come to know - that includes family, friends, patients, and anyone else I am lucky enough to meet. It is a privilege for me to get to use my expertise in human movement, empathy, encouragement, and kindness to guide people back to pain free movement and more enjoyable activity.”
