Kieran earned his Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2016. He began his journey in physical therapy as a PT tech at Newbury Park Physical Therapy, where he gained hands-on experience and developed a passion for the field. He went on to earn his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree as part of the inaugural cohort at Oregon State University – Cascades, and has since returned to NPPT as a practicing Physical Therapist.
A Ventura County native, originally from Ventura, Kieran brings a strong connection to the local community. As part of his doctoral capstone, he conducted research on the kinematics, plantar pressure, and kinetics of traditional versus maximal running shoes in recreational athletes. He and six colleagues are currently in the process of publishing their findings.
Outside of the clinic, Kieran enjoys weightlifting, snowboarding, mountain biking, and running. A passionate LA sports fan, he proudly supports the Dodgers and the Rams. He also enjoys cooking, traveling, and spending quality time with loved ones.
