Physical Therapy Aide
Jonathan is originally from Texas having moved to Newport Beach eight years ago. He played a variety of sports when he was younger, but eventually focused on football. Playing four years in high school eventually led to a knee injury taking him away from playing and leading him to coaching after graduating. The process of rehabilitation after his knee injury helped solidify his interest in human anatomy and biomechanics.
He continued his education graduating from San Francisco State University and obtaining a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology with a focus in exercise and movement. He plans on pursuing his Doctorate in physical therapy at a graduate school in Southern California, but in the meantime, he wants to gain experience and knowledge in the field.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and family going to the beach to hang out and learn to surf.
