A Lifetime of Living Well

My journey in health and wellness began long before Live Well Dog. In fact, I've been caring for dogs since I was nine years old. What began as a childhood love for animals eventually became an extension of my life's work: helping people and the animals they love live healthier, happier lives.

In 1998, I founded Live Well Chiropractic in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, with a simple but powerful belief: true wellness begins with understanding the body, respecting its natural ability to heal, and giving people the knowledge and tools to take an active role in their own health.

For 23 years, I had the privilege of caring for the Atlanta community, building relationships that spanned generations and dedicating my practice to a more thoughtful, whole-body approach to health. Over those years, my education and philosophy continued to evolve, incorporating functional medicine, chiropractic care, nutrition, and the principles of osteopathic practice.

Although I am no longer practicing at that original location, the philosophy behind Live Well has never left me. It has simply grown.

Live Well Dog™ and The Doctor's Dog™ are the natural continuation of that lifelong commitment to wellness.

As I deepened my studies in canine nutrition, pet food formulation, and natural animal health, I recognized something important: pet parents deserve the same opportunity to make informed, empowered decisions about their animals' health that I had spent decades encouraging in my human patients.

They deserve choices. They deserve transparency. And they deserve access to thoughtfully developed products that support their pets' well-being without making natural care unnecessarily complicated or unaffordable.

That belief became the foundation of Live Well Dog.

Today, I bring together my background in functional medicine, the chiropractic lifestyle, osteopathic principles, canine nutrition, and pet food science to develop products and share practical knowledge that help families care for their animals with greater confidence.

Through Live Well Dog and The Doctor's Dog, my goal is not simply to offer supplements, nutrition, and natural care products. It is to help pet parents understand the choices available to them, recognize the importance of everyday wellness, and take a more active role in supporting their pets' quality of life and longevity.

I believe the smallest daily choices can make a meaningful difference over a lifetime. And I believe caring for our animals should be guided by knowledge, compassion, and respect for their individual needs.

These days, I share my life with my dogs between Decatur and Jekyll Island, Georgia, continuing to learn, create, and advocate for a more thoughtful approach to animal wellness.

Live Well began with a commitment to people in 1998. Today, that same commitment extends to the animals who make our lives whole.

Because after all they give us—the companionship, the loyalty, the unconditional love—helping them live well is one of the most meaningful ways we can give back.

With love and a lifetime of dedication to wellness,
