My Story
Sports have been a major part of Dr. Darren's life since his youth. He played baseball and soccer from a young age and later developed a passion for long-distance running as an adult. His journey into running began during his military service where he served as a U.S. Army Paratrooper, using many of the same qualities he learned there to complete some of the most challenging 100-mile endurance runs in the country. This passion for pushing his physical limits led him to explore interests in human physiology, performance, recovery, and optimal nutrition.
In 2015, Dr. Darren took on the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, completing four of the most prestigious 100-mile endurance runs in the country over an 11-week period. Runners from all over the world take on this challenge, pushing their bodies and minds to the limit in pursuit of this achievement. With each race presenting there own unique set of challenges, completing the Grand Slam is a test of endurance, perseverance, troubleshooting and mental toughness.
Dr. Darren is confident in his ability to help patients achieve their own goals and improve the lives of his patients with the same passion, perseverance, and troubleshooting skills he's manifested in his running endeavors. He's committed to providing world class patient care, whatever the goal. Whether it's getting you out of pain, speed up the body's own healing process, identifying the root cause of an injury, or to improve the way you function. If you are looking to improve performance Dr. Darren is skilled in testing VO2 max, and blood lactate as well as endurance coaching, sports recovery and sports nutrition.
