Born and raised in Washington State, Braden developed a passion for movement, health, and athletics at an early age. Throughout his life, he has been actively involved in sports, including wrestling, track and field, swimming, and football. His athletic journey continued at Pacific Lutheran University, where he played NCAA Division III football throughout all four years of his undergraduate education.

Braden earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Pacific Lutheran University in 2019. He then pursued his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Husson University, graduating in 2026.

Drawing from his lifelong involvement in athletics, Braden is passionate about helping people recover from injury, improve performance, and return to the activities they enjoy most. He values building strong relationships with his patients and empowering them to reach their individual goals through evidence-based care.

Outside the clinic, Braden enjoys spending time with his family, dog, exploring the Pacific Northwest on hikes, staying active in the gym, listening to music, and adding to his growing vinyl record collection.
