Welcome to StretchLab Woodbury MN

I graduated from the UW River Falls with a degree in Exercise Science with a major in Physics. I have my Eagle Scout badge and worked my first job as a rock climbing instructor at a summer camp that sparked my interest in sports. I am a passionate sports fan and played tennis and football all through school, a season into college, as well as three seasons of semi pro ball during and after college as a wide receiver. In my free time I play golf, basketball, camping up north, kayaking and watching the New England Patriots. Stretchlab can be a benefit to people of all backgrounds to help them maintain their daily activities and live a healthier lifestyle while feeling great. My hope is to someday be a physical therapist, so that I can continue helping others recover and return to their normal lifestyle and activities.
