Dr. Luke is from the Dayton area. Dr. Luke went to The Ohio State University #GOBUCKS for undergrad and obtained his doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Dayton with distinction of “Overall Excellence in Academics, Clinical Performance, Scholarship, and Service. He traveled the country learning from phenomenal physical therapists, trainers, and athletes in Lexington, KY, Miami, FL, Seattle, WA, and San Diego, CA helping tactical, professional, and recreational athletes.

Dr. Luke grew up playing baseball and basketball and now his activity regimen includes mostly CrossFit, home garage gym workouts with his wife or friends, jujitsu at MPower Gym, and boxing with Coach Will of MPower Gym! 🏋️🥊

Before PT school, Dr. Luke experienced his own injury that kept him out of the gym, away from training, and away from the friends and community he loved. His passion to serve people and his own experience gives him the drive to help people stay healthy, active, and doing what they love to do in the communities they love to be in!

When he’s not in the clinic, Dr. Luke is spending time with his wife and 3 kids—Oakley, Harlow, and Lawson,—hanging out with friends, Harry Potter game nights, and any and all activities to get outdoors: mowing, hiking, fishing, hunting, spikeball, soccer, snowboarding, swimming.

Shannon was born and raised in Toledo, then lived in Columbus for 10 years before moving to Dayton. She has worked in retail and restaurants since her first job at 14 developing a deep love for taking care of people. She currently also works at Whole Foods Market going on 9 years—coaching and mentoring future leaders as well as educating customers about the importance of what they put in their bodies.

As a client of TNPT since September 2021, she understands first hand how it feels to have someone invested in your recovery and give you hope. “That hope was the catalyst for my path to healing and getting stronger than I was pre-injury.” From client to teammate, Shannon is the best person to support our clients and our team!

Shannon’s preferred form of movement is hiking and Yoga🧘‍♀️, but inside the gym, you can find her playing with all sorts of mobility techniques, core exercises, and pushing + pulling the sled around. “Where I once had a dream to lift the heaviest barbell off the ground, now I focus on longevity, building muscle, and being able to play on the monkey bars with my little one.”

Outside of the clinic, you can find Shannon at a local coffee shop ☕️, making food for her friends, a park with her daughter, Zoey, or going on roadtrips to see live music. 🎶 She enjoys attending local SoundBaths and coaching people on a journey of self-discovery through breath work and cold-plunging. 🥶
