Juan wanted to help people add years to their life and life to their years, so he decided to become a physical therapist. He earned his BA in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado, then continued onto graduate school there to earn his Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT). Juan is board certified in orthopedics (OCS) and appreciates the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of patients every day.  

Juan grew up in Denver and loves everything about volleyball: playing, coaching, watching and training for it. Even his vacations lead to volleyball – his favorite spot to visit is Washington Park in his hometown, the best place for grass volleyball! Juan was born in Lima, Peru and is fluent in Spanish.
