The clinician
behind the lab.

Before physical therapy, Drew spent nearly a decade in the United States Navy as an Aviation Electronics Technician and Aircrewman, flying missions on P-3 Orion and C-130 aircraft. A South Bay native, he grew up in San Pedro and has surfed the Beach Cities coastline his entire life. While forward deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, he coached CrossFit on base and witnessed first-hand the physical toll of combat and the restorative power of rehabilitation. Watching physical therapists restore function and independence to service members changed the course of his life. He left the flight deck with a new mission: help people move well and live fully.

Drew earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California and completed a post-professional orthopedic residency through Northwestern University and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, one of the world's premier rehabilitation research institutions. He subsequently earned his Board Certification in Orthopedic Clinical Specialty (OCS), a credential held by fewer than 10% of physical therapists. He has practiced across private outpatient, hospital-based outpatient, and acute inpatient settings since 2017.

Drew served as the primary physical therapist and match-day clinician for the Temecula Quails professional soccer club. Beginning in August 2026, he will undertake a Lower Extremity Biomechanics Fellowship under Dr. Chris Powers at the Movement Performance Institute, the leading post-professional fellowship in lower extremity movement science.

Outside the clinic, Drew is a competing triathlete, lifelong surfer, Olympic weightlifter, and CrossFit athlete. He trains alongside the same South Bay community he treats and brings that perspective to every patient he works with.
