About
Jake grew up in Devils Lake, ND and graduated from the University of Jamestown’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program in 2024. He is certified in Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training and has a special interest in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation. Jake enjoys working with patients of all ages and helping them get back to doing what they enjoy most.
For Jake, physical therapy is about more than just treating an injury—it’s about understanding how it’s impacting someone’s life and helping them move forward.
His approach starts with listening. Jake takes the time to truly understand what’s going on, then works alongside his patients to build a plan that encourages and empowers them through each step of their rehabilitation journey. His goal is to help people feel confident, capable and supported from day one.
Jake is passionate about working with a wide range of individuals, with a special interest in athletes and anyone looking to be more active and confident in their day-to-day life. He believes physical therapists are movement experts and loves helping people become stronger, more active and the best version of themselves.
Outside of work, Jake enjoys spending time with his wife and two boys, being outdoors and playing just about any sport or game especially pickleball, basketball, volleyball and golf.
