My family had ten doctors of chiropractic. My father, uncles, brothers, nephews and nieces were practicing doctors of chiropractic.  In 1971, I had degrees in theology and psychology from the University of Iowa when Uncle Sam called me up for the Vietnam War.  I joined the Coast Guard and was stationed in Hawaii.  I met my wife, the former Judy Imamoto.  After we married, I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.  There I was graduated summa cum laude.

I took over my father’s practice when he retired.  He taught me an abundance of information about chiropractic care.  I was in practice with my two brothers in the largest chiropractic clinic in the upper Midwest.  I had the special opportunity of attending chiropractic seminars on a monthly basis for twelve years.

After a visit to Hawaii, I looked out the plane window and saw the islands move into the distance, and I asked myself, "Why am I leaving Hawaii?"  I was flying with my wife, Judy and my two children, Kate and Coco, back to Mason City, Iowa.

My extensive continuing education, family knowledge and twelve years experience in a busy practice prepared me for starting a practice in Honolulu in 1986.  I love to come to the office. In the passing years, I have cared for over 7,000 of your friends and neighbors.  I have great satisfaction and fun helping people to better health without drugs and surgery.  I have no intention of slowing down.  I am ready when you are.
