Meet Dr. Walk

At the heart of everything I do is one simple belief: health changes lives. I’m honored to walk alongside our practice members on their journey toward better health—and I look forward to helping you discover what’s possible for yours. 

Mahomet has been an amazing place to build both my practice and my life. I’m incredibly grateful for this community and for my greatest blessings—my beautiful wife, Katie, and our three amazing kiddos, Ella, Emmy, and Grayson. We love exploring everything Mahomet has to offer, from local businesses and schools to Lake of the Woods and Riverbend Forest Preserves, where you’ll find us jogging, biking, hiking, and kayaking 

I grew up in Mattoon, Illinois, where I graduated as Valedictorian of the Class of 2000. I went on to earn academic and athletic scholarships to Lake Land College, playing baseball for the Lakers. During my sophomore year, a serious back injury changed my life—I couldn’t even walk. After seeing a chiropractor for the first time, Dr. J.D. Williams, one adjustment had me walking out virtually pain-free. That moment sparked my passion for chiropractic care and set my life’s path. 

I continued my education at the University of Illinois, where I worked alongside Dr. Hillman on a multi-million-dollar research grant studying exercise and cognition in older adults. I stayed active in countless campus organizations and sports and developed a deep interest in human performance and wellness.

In 2004, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, earned a spot on the prestigious Bronze Tablet, and was named Kinesiology Student of the Year. 

I began my chiropractic education at Palmer College of Chiropractic, where I stayed heavily involved—founding the Illinois Chiropractic Club, serving as Treasurer of the Student American Chiropractic Association, and volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. I also completed a radiology tech role and earned my Fellowship in Acupuncture through Logan College of Chiropractic.

One of the most impactful experiences of my life was traveling to Bahia, Brazil, where I provided chiropractic care to underserved communities with no access to healthcare. Helping people regain their health in such conditions was truly life-changing.

In 2008, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Doctor of Chiropractic and became certified as a Titleist Golf Fitness Instructor before returning home to practice in Illinois. 

I founded Walk Chiropractic & Acupuncture in October 2008 with one goal: to help people feel better, move better, and live better. Since then, I’ve proudly served as a Mahomet Rotarian, Chamber of Commerce President, and community advocate.

Our practice has been honored as:

• Mahomet Business of the Year (2011)
• Central Illinois Forty Under 40 (2014)

We are also proud sponsors of Mahomet Parks & Recreation, Mahomet Area Youth Club, and Mahomet-Seymour Schools and Athletic Programs.
