Jim was born and raised in Wisconsin, played sports in college, and has been a PTA for 10 years. He worked in business and finance, but when he suffered a back injury in 2007, he was seen by an older PTA who was in his second career. Jim was inspired and developed a passion for physical therapy and decided to change careers and become a PTA when the market fell. He would describe his treatment style as one in which he listens to his patients and uses his expertise to explain how to help them.
