John is a licensed, ABC-certified prosthetist and licensed physical therapist for Hanger Clinic in Mississippi.

As a clinical education specialist, John specializes in advanced lower limb prosthetic care and all lower limb technologies. With the loss of his leg above the knee when he was 14 years old due to an accidental gunshot incident, and his own experiences as a person with limb loss plus his training in physical therapy and prosthetics give him a unique prospective toward delivering care. John is passionate about providing the best care possible to help others overcome the obstacles of limb loss and help them return to the highest possible function they can achieve. He continues to advance his practice by utilizing the latest advancements in technology with a focus on improving patient outcomes.

John is recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthotics and Prosthetics for his accomplishments and contributions to the field of Prosthetics.
