Chiropractor
It all started with a chiropractic adjustment at an early age that helped aid the healing process of an ear infection. Since that day Dr. Mike took an interest in the human body, fitness and wellness. Upon seeing the results from that first treatment, Dr. Mike decided to continue to heal his body through chiropractic care.
Even though he came to Active Life Wellness in the late spring of 2016 as an intern, Dr. Mike officially came on board in July of 2016 where he helps provide the highest quality of patient care as a member of the Active Life Wellness team.

Patient Ambassador Front Desk
As the first face many of our clients see when they walk through the door, I take great pride in creating a welcoming and supportive environment from the very start. My role goes far beyond the front desk—I’m involved in many aspects of our day-to-day operations, including scheduling, patient intake, and assisting the clinical team wherever needed to help ensure the clinic runs smoothly and efficiently.
I thrive in a fast-paced, positive setting and work hard to make every client experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. What I love most about my work is the opportunity to build genuine connections. Whether it’s calming nerves, answering questions, or simply offering a friendly smile, I care deeply about each person who walks through our doors.
For me, it’s not just about organization or logistics—it’s about being part of a place where people come to feel better, both inside and out.
