John is a Kansas City local who grew up in the Leawood/Overland Park area. After graduating from Shawnee Mission East Highschool he attended The University of Kansas for his undergraduate degree where he received a Bachelors of Science in Organismal Biology in 2011. While at KU he was a pre-med student, but after shadowing a few MDs he decided he wanted a more hands on type of medical profession. Due to his experience with chiropractors and physical therapists in high school he was attracted to both of those professions. When graduation was approaching he made the decision to attend Cleveland University - Kansas City for his Doctorate in Chiropractic. While at Cleveland, John was a member of several student clubs focused on developing palpation and adjusting skills. He also sought out many seminars outside of school to further develop his skillset. He attended many seminars from the Motion Palpation Institute, and became certified in FAKTR, SFMA, Rock Tape, ART, and DNS therapies. John graduated from Cleveland University - Kansas City with his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2016.
Following graduation from Chiropractic school John moved to Europe for two and half years where he practiced locally around an American/Polish military base. While in Europe he was able to visit many different countries and experience the variety of cultures Europe has to offer. In January 2019, John moved to Arizona where he was fortunate to join a practice specializing in Athletic rehab. John spent the next 3.5 years working with professional athletes, olympians, and every day families before deciding to move back home to Kansas City.
John started KC Spine and Sport with the goal of bringing elite level care, that is normally reserved for top level athletes, to anyone who is looking to move and feel better.
