Joey was born in Alexandria, VA and raised in Virginia Beach, VA from preschool through undergrad. He graduated from James Madison University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science and a minor in Military Science. Joey commissioned into the Army via ROTC from James Madison University as a Medical Services Officer, and served on active duty for 6.5 years before transitioning to the Virginia Army National Guard for 2.5 years while in graduate school. He obtained his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2026. He has been a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) since 2025.
Joey enjoys treating a variety of patients and orthopedic diagnoses, but has a special interest in working with athletes mainly treating patients with lower extremity injuries, runners, and soccer players. His favorite quote in practice is “If exercise could be packaged in a pill, it would be the most widely prescribed and potent medicine in the world.”
In his free time, Joey enjoys running, weightlifting, soccer, pickleball, spikeball, snowboarding, surfing, hiking, watching sports (Go Dukes, Rams, Gunners, USMNT and USWNT!), and spending time with friends, girlfriend, and their two kittens Stella and Nova!
