Robert comes to Next ERA after completing a Sports Residency program through Regis University and Children’s Hospital Colorado. Upon completion of residency and board examination, he earned board certification as a Sports Clinical Specialist. Throughout his advanced training, Robert developed expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of athletic injuries, sideline medical coverage, and return-to-sport rehabilitation following surgery. His clinical experiences have allowed him to work with athletes across a variety of sports and activity levels.

​

His further specialized training and certifications include diagnostic ultrasound, functional dry needling, Graston Technique, and advanced manual therapy. Robert is passionate about helping athletes understand their injuries, build confidence throughout rehabilitation, and safely return to the activities and sports they love.

​

Robert attended Washington University in St. Louis for physical therapy school, completing multiple clinical experiences in high-level sports medicine as well as research internships focused on biomechanics and structural imaging. These experiences helped build a strong foundation in the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal and athletic injuries. Initially, he earned his undergraduate degree in Human Physiology and Exercise Science from the University of Louisville, where he also gained collegiate baseball experience at both the Division III and club levels.

Outside the clinic, Robert remains a dedicated fan of his hometown Chicago Bears and White Sox. More than two years ago, Robert relocated to Colorado with his girlfriend and their cattle/Black Lab mix, and they have embraced all that Colorado has to offer. Outside of work, they enjoy attending concerts, hiking throughout the state, and spending time on the golf course.
