Playing college football was always my dream.

In 2010, I earned the opportunity to play for Wesleyan University in the prestigious New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). Following a successful freshman campaign, a shoulder injury early in my sophomore season forced me off of the field and into the care of Dr. Scott Rodeo.

The thought of surgery made me a bit apprehensive. As many questions swirled in my mind, my fears were quickly assuaged after meeting Dr. Rodeo and the team at HSS. I received such quality care at HSS that before I knew it I was back on my feet and back on the field.

I had a strong finish to my college football career and even helped to lead my team to a NESCAC championship in my senior season. I am very thankful that Dr. Rodeo helped me to live my dream.
