He has worked with local professional teams including the arena football teams and the Fresno Fuego soccer team. His clinical experience is not limited to athletes. He enjoys working with patients of all ages, and helping them obtain their goals.

Lance enjoys seeing his patient’s progress on a daily basis. Through clever analogies and good nature humor, his patients get a deep sense of his commitment. He enjoys getting to know his patients while focusing on their recovery.

Lance taught classes from 1995-2011 in Sports Medicine as a part time instructor at Fresno State’s Athletic Trainer Education Program (ATEP), teaching classes in the Kinesiology department. He stays current with research and challenges his students to do the same. He has a variety of treatment skills that he enjoys sharing with students and patients alike.

Outside of the PT clinic Lance enjoys spending time with his family. His son is a competitive gymnast so he gets plenty of sports medicine practice at home.  When he gets the chance, he loves to ski. He is also former competitive power lifter, and draws upon that experience to help his patients.
