Hear physical therapist, small business owner and outdoor athlete Damien Jackson-Ricketts talk about growing up in a very rural area in SW Virginia (and how different it was from living in big cities later in his life), the genuine satisfaction of working with your hands and the example his woodworker father instilled in him from a young age, early nature experiences that informed his love of outdoor sports (like hiking, mountain biking, and surfing) later in life, his passion for film/movies and his previous desire to follow that career path, his developing interest in physical therapy and the steps he took to get in to PT school and his residency in LA, life in SoCal and how he and his girlfriend finally made the call to move to Portland and the Pacific Northwest, starting his private practice--Stoke PT--here in PDX, and much more!
