I was born and raised in Peru, Indiana where I spent virtually all of my time playing sports. It’s that physical, active, lifestyle that led me to want to study the human body and how it should move and work properly.
My higher education started at Indiana University in Bloomington where I studied Kinesiology (the study of human movement) and minored in Coaching. While studying Kinesiology I met a young lady named Chelsey Beckman (now Dr. Chelsey Smiley) and quickly realized we were very like-minded and headed in the same direction. After we obtained our Bachelor of Science degrees from IU, Dr. Chelsey and I headed to St. Louis for Chiropractic school together.
We attended Logan College of Chiropractic from 2006 to 2009. In that time-span we obtained another Bachelor of Science degree in Life Science. We also attended several post-graduate weekend courses in motion palpation, spinal rehabilitation, advanced adjusted techniques, and nutrition.
My Background:

I believe I’m best known for treating a patient as a “whole” and giving them individualized chiropractic care. I am passionate about getting patients out of pain fast and back to living their life.
I enjoy family time with my wife Dr. Chelsey, and our 2 kids (Presley, 4 and Cassius, 2). In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, exercise, reading, and learning more about health, and longevity.
