Hello! I'm a board-certified radiologist, clinical leader, and founder of The Ergo Shoppe, an e-commerce store focused on ergonomic products and workplace wellness. For over 20 years, I have practiced in a busy Level 1 trauma center and currently serve as department chair at Mercy Hospital-Lincoln. My subspecialty is in musculoskeletal imaging, with a focus on sports medicine, injury evaluation, and return-to-play protocols. Since 2013, I've served as a consulting radiologist for the St. Louis Cardinals MLB team. Earlier in my career, I held similar roles with the Chicago Bears NFL team and NCAA Division I athletes at Northwestern University. My clinical expertise also includes arthritis imaging, oncologic imaging, and emergency medicine. In 2023, I launched The Ergo Shoppe to mesh my medical background with the world of ergonomics. My company offers curated products designed to enhance how people work and feel. I write much of the blog content myself, focusing on evidence-based insights around posture, productivity, and wellness. Outside of medicine and business, I'm interested in personal finance and investing—managing a portion of my portfolio while working with a financial advisor. I mentor early-career doctors on navigating burnout, building financial literacy, and making informed career moves—areas often overlooked in medical school and residency. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve become focused on fitness and healthy aging—particularly how strength training, mobility, and daily movement habits can improve long-term health, resilience, and overall quality of life.
