Dr. Jim’s journey to becoming a chiropractor was shaped by his deep-rooted passion for athletics and his unwavering commitment to optimizing human performance. Graduating with a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northeast College of Health Sciences in 2017, Dr. Jim’s upbringing in the serene landscapes of Long Beach Island instilled in him a love for surfing and the great outdoors.

From his formative years, Dr. Jim immersed himself in competitive sports, excelling in track and field and football throughout high school and college. However, like many athletes, he encountered injuries along the way, seeking both physical therapy and chiropractic care for recovery. It was through these experiences that Dr. Jim recognized the invaluable synergy between these disciplines, yet also identified a significant gap in their application.

Frustrated by the limitations of cookie-cutter treatments and short-term fixes, Dr. Jim was driven to bridge the gap between physical therapy and chiropractic care and create something that is better than both. Drawing from his extensive background as a strength and conditioning coach and CrossFit enthusiast for nearly two decades, Dr. Jim founded Valhalla Performance with a singular mission: to deliver elite chiropractic care fused with the transformative power of strength and conditioning rehabilitation.

With a relentless dedication to advancing his expertise, Dr. Jim has amassed thousands of additional hours in certifications beyond chiropractic school. His areas of specialization encompass functional movement and mobility, biomechanics, gait analysis, nutrition, and strength & conditioning methodologies, including certifications in CrossFit (L1 & L2) and Pre-Script L1.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Jim finds joy in the simple pleasures of life: cherishing moments with his family, embarking on outdoor adventures, and relishing in the company of his wife, Kristine, their son Declan, and their faithful canine companion, Kelso.
