Why Chiropractic: Chiropractic is an absolutely amazing profession built around working with the bodies inborn potential to heal itself. In no other profession do you get to work as closely with this innate potential as we do. I want to share the chiropractic message all over the world and work to make sure that every man, woman, and child is under the care of a principled chiropractor. Without interference to the nervous system, the human body is capable of amazing things and I want to dedicate my life to making sure that I can remove that inference from as many people as humanly possible.
Favorite thing about Sherman: My favorite thing about Sherman is the philosophy. I love how dedicated the professors are to making sure that we are learning and understanding the philosophy of chiropractic amidst all the required more medical based classes.
Favorite thing about the Upstate Region: My favorite part of the upstate region is how cheap movies are. I am from New Jersey so I am used to paying 11-12 dollars for a movie. Movies here are 6 dollars and you get an awesome reclining chair. WIN!

Why Chiropractic: Chiropractic is the profession that really shows us how to care about ourselves. Taking care about of spine and correct the subluxations that are interfering in many ways to the normal functions of the body.

Meet the Ambassadors
Activates/hobbies: Having dinner with my friends, hiking, going to the beach, and playing the guitar
Why Chiropractic: As a baby and a young child I got sick pretty often. My Mom became a CA in a chiropractic office when I was 7 years old and I received my first adjustment. From that moment on getting sick became a rare occurrence and felt great after adjustments. By the age of 10, I realized the amazing impact chiropractic care had on my life and others, and just knew that was what I was called to do.
Favorite thing about Sherman: The family atmosphere and the relationships that I have built over the last 3 1/2 years. There aren’t many schools out there where you feel the bond and love immediately like you do at Sherman.
Favorite thing about the Upstate: How there is a little bit of everything so close by. One day you could find yourself enjoying the big cities with all their sights and sounds, or you could find yourself hiking in the mountains being at peace with nature.
Activities/Hobbies: Gym/ Running, Tap Dancing, Theater Arts, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
Why Chiropractic: I choose chiropractic because I believe chiropractic is what our society needs. When it comes to healthcare, people are ignorant to the fact that our bodies were created to heal. Too many individuals are dependent upon medications and vaccines to do the job that our bodies were designed to do. Through chiropractic, I am able to communicate a message of hope to people and help them to live life at their best. Once I learned what chiropractic really is, it just made sense and lined up with the kind of doctor I want to be.
Favorite thing about Sherman: Sherman is one of the few schools that remains true to the philosophy of chiropractic. The philosophy based curriculum is one of the qualities of Sherman I appreciate the most because I believe it is the foundation that sets students a part in the world to be the best chiropractors in the field. Chiropractic is a full package of science, art, and philosophy, and every part must be utilized. I know that once I graduate I will have the necessary skills, confidence, and knowledge in order to make a difference in the realm of chiropractic care. Also, Sherman has some of the most genuine and supportive faculty I could ever ask for in a college.
Favorite thing about the Upstate Region: The Upstate Region has basically everything you need to survive. Everything is within a few minutes drive and that makes it very convenient for students.
Activities/Hobbies: I love spending time with my family and friends. On the weekends I enjoy hiking, hanging out downtown Spartanburg, and traveling as much as possible.
Why Chiropractic: Truthfully, chiropractic sort of fell in my lap. My best friend went to Sherman College and invited me to Lyceum. I immediately fell in love with the philosophy and mission of chiropractic. The ability we have as chiropractors to help others and empower people to choose a healthier, happier life.
Favorite thing about Sherman: I love that Sherman feels like one huge family. Everyone knows your face, if not your name and your story. People are always willing to lend a hand or shed some advice. Truly some of the greatest staff, team, and colleagues.
Favorite thing about the Upstate Region: The weather is beautiful. It is close to the mountains and not too far from the beach. There is always something going on and festivities to attend.
Activities/Hobbies: Student Leader at Hope Church SC. Love to travel and experience different cultures and relate to people from different backgrounds.
Why Chiropractic: I chose chiropractic because it allows me to keep my personal belief of self-healing and that the body has the given intelligence to heal itself when needed. I have always been interested in the health care field and this profession matches or relates the best to my personal beliefs on health.
Favorite thing about Sherman: My favorite thing a bout Sherman is the close-knit family atmosphere. I come from a small undergraduate school and there are about the same amount of students at Sherman. From day one the doctors, students, and staff go out of their way to help in every aspect of your life.
Favorite thing about the Upstate Region: The Upstate Region has become my new home so to speak! I love what it has to offer. They literally have everything you would need in a short distance. The mountains, hills, beaches, coasts, big city life and everything in between are all 3 hours or less from here and that was one thing that brought me here!
Activities/Hobbies: Working out, bar trivia, hanging out with friends, laying out in the sun
Why Chiropractic: My father is a chiropractor so I have had chiropractic my entire life. When I was old enough, I began to work in his office as a CA. I saw people of all different ages and levels of health come in and out of his office. My dad changed some of these people’s lives by giving them a chiropractic adjustment with his hands alone. I wanted to be able to have this amazing power to help people with just my hands and that is why I chose chiropractic.
Favorite thing about Sherman: My favorite thing about Sherman is the family I have made here. Moving from New Jersey, I didn’t really know anyone at all. The people in my quarter have become some of my best friends and it’s really cool we get to all go through this experience together.
Favorite thing about the Upstate Region: I really like downtown Spartanburg for when you need a break from school work or a bite to eat. They have a bunch of good restaurants and bars that are fun to hang out at. I also really love Greenville. It’s a good place to escape to on the weekends and there is so much to do there. Spartanburg is a really good central location for other bigger cities. Asheville and Charlotte are about an hour away, Greenville is only 30 minutes and Atlanta is about 3 hours.

Why Chiropractic: When I moved from Connecticut with my wife so she could attend Sherman, I really didn’t know what chiropractic was. Once she started I learned more and more about the philosophy and why chiropractors do what they do, I knew this is what was I called to do in order to help others be the best that they can be and to make a difference.
Favorite thing about Sherman: My favorite thing about Sherman other than the family environment is the philosophy which we start learning our very first quarter. What we do as chiropractors is very important but why we do what we do is even more important. It is our why that makes us stand out from all other fields.
Favorite thing about the Upstate Region: My favorite thing about the Upstate is no matter what my wife Sam and I want to do its not far away. We are close to Myrtle Beach, Atlanta, Charlotte, and the Mountains. There is no shortage of fun things to do within driving distance.
