Bio
Dustin received his B.S. in Healthcare Studies and his M.S. in Occupational Therapy while attending Husson University in Bangor, ME, where he also played lacrosse. Dustin knew from an early age that he wanted to work in healthcare; however, it wasn’t until he sustained a knee injury during high school that he realized it would be a form of therapy. While in school, he fell in love with the anatomy of the hand and upper extremity and decided to pursue a career in hand therapy. Dustin completed a fieldwork rotation at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, where he treated orthopedic injuries to the elbow, wrist, and hand, which only confirmed his love for hand therapy. Dustin furthered his experience by working as a hand therapist in Columbus, GA. Dustin has since worked to re-establish a hand therapy department in Texas and become a certified hand therapist (CHT). Dustin has been practicing for 9 years and has also served as the clinic director of a hand therapy clinic in Columbus, Georgia. Currently, Dustin resides in Tomball, TX, and works as a CHT, helping to build the hand therapy program at Houston Methodist Hospital in Cypress, TX. Dustin enjoys spending time with his wife, Morgan, daughter, Emersyn, and son, Remington.
