Dr. Greg graduated from Daemen University in 2018 with his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT). Since then, he has spent countless hours beyond his clinical training developing advanced expertise in orthopedic rehabilitation and performance-based care.
Early in his career, he spent three years as a sports physical therapist at Purposed Physical Therapy in Greenville, where he worked with a wide range of athletes, including professional and Olympic runners. This experience helped refine his approach to treating runners and high-performing individuals.
Dr. Greg later returned to his hometown of Buffalo to build a similar model of care, founding AWAKEN Performance Rehab with a focus on high-quality sports rehabilitation for the running population. He is also a board certified specialist in orthopedic physical therapy and has completed an intensive fellowship in sports and orthopedic manual physical therapy through the Institute for Athlete Regeneration (IAR) — advanced training pursued by only a small percentage of physical therapists. As a lifelong learner and educator, Dr. Greg also serves as adjunct faculty in the DPT program at his alma mater, Daemen University.
When not in the clinic or teaching at Daemen, you can typically find him spending time with his family and friends, running down a road or trail, working on his tennis/pickleball/spikeball game, or cheering his wife on in various elite-level road races.
For anyone who knows him, Dr. Greg is passionate about his Christian faith, competitive, and driven to help others AWAKEN their athletic and everyday potential! His goal is to bring a unique perspective to the medical and fitness industry focusing on each client's individual needs!
