I’m a 36 year old father of a 5 year old daughter and have been diagnosed with PD in the Fall of 2003.  I work as a physical therapist at University Hospital of Cleveland mostly with patients with orthopaedic type diagnoses.  Born and raised in Germany I began work as a therapist in Berlin in 1994 just to move to the USA in December of 1995.  I earned a BS in biology from North Carolina State University in1999 and a doctorate in physical therapy from New York University in 2002.

I like reading, biking, cooking and spending time with my daughter Molly.  I began riding a motorcycle in August of 2007.
