Biography
I came to 蘑菇短视频 in 2007 to teach and research in the areas of
biomechanics and muscle physiology. Clinically, I work with patients across a broad
spectrum of conditions. I feel that developing a strong understanding of the basic
sciences of our discipline enables a therapist to have expertise that is applicable
to a wide variety of patient populations. I live in Cullowhee with my wife, Kim, and
our two boys, Jake and Sam. Kim and I enjoy the outdoor life, we can often be found
camping on the mountain lakes and rivers of western North Carolina or exploring the
small mountain towns and festivals that make the area such a great place to be. Our
region is so rich in culture, I have always felt that the best way to get to know
and understand people is to appreciate their food and music, as they are a direct
reflection of their history.<br><b><br></b><b>What do I love the most about being
a Catamount? </b>As<b> </b>a Catamount I have come to know that the true measure of
my own success is really the successes that I help others achieve.
Teaching Interests
Biomechanics, Muscle Physiology, Mechanics of Human Walking
Research Interests
As a researcher I am interested in the interaction between structure and function
of the human body. Currently I am exploring how bony torsion in the lower limb affects
mechanics of functional tasks. Additionally, I am trying to learn more about the mechanisms
that make humans walk so well, and how the cardiovascular system responds during HIIT.
