About
Twenty-six years of hands-on work with the human body has taught me what actually works. I studied massage therapy at Asheville School of Massage back in 2000, then went on to complete my Physical Therapist Assistant certification at Asheville Buncombe Community College in North Carolina. That foundation—combining deep anatomical knowledge with real technique—is what I bring to every session, whether it's here in my quiet, private studio in Portland or when I travel to clients across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
I've spent more than two decades moving between North Carolina, California, Nevada, and now Oregon, learning from different bodies, different injuries, different needs. I'm trained in Swedish, deep tissue, reflexology, stretching, Esalen, Lomi Lomi, and neuromuscular work. What that means for you is this: I know how to find what's tight, what's restricted, what's causing you pain—and I know how to work it out in a way that actually sticks.
My studio here in Portland is set up to feel like a real retreat. Candles, soft music, the kind of quiet where you can actually let your nervous system settle. Free parking, a private restroom, cold water waiting for you when you're done. The massage table is comfortable, the space is secluded, and I keep everything clean and professional.
I also offer four-hand massage with my partner Ryan, who has over ten years of experience and works in perfect sync with me. When two trained hands become four, the experience is completely different—deeper, more balanced, something a lot of clients say is bucket-list worthy. We do couples massages too, both here at home and when we travel to hotels in surrounding cities.
I'm a legit, respectable guy with solid knowledge of the body. I'll work on what ails you—your shoulders, your back, your neck, wherever you're holding tension or pain. Come relax with me and feel your best. I'm here in Portland every day, 10 a.m. to midnight, and I'll travel up to 150 miles for outcalls to serve clients across the region.

Testimonials
I see these guys every two weeks because of my work-related back issues. They know exactly how to massage me back into feeling human again. The setup is lovely, they're straightforward and kind, and I highly recommend them.
I was hesitant about a four-hand massage, but they made me feel completely comfortable. Walking in, the space smelled like mint and vanilla. They explained everything clearly. Their synchronized work on my body was incredible—I felt like rubber afterward. Thank you, and I'll be back.
Got a New Year's Day massage and it was fantastic—one of them was celebrating a birthday so I tipped generously. Between the hands-on work and the massage gun they used on my shoulder pain, my eyes rolled back constantly. By the end, I felt like jello and my shoulders were completely resolved. Definitely coming back.
These guys are real professionals. I got a four-hand bodywork session and they delivered completely. They're warm, kind, and perfectly synchronized once they touch you. Easy to book, fast to respond. The highlight of my Portland trip.
I'd never had a man massage me before and was nervous, but they put me at ease immediately when I arrived. Definitely coming back.
I flew into Portland for a conference needing a massage, saw their profile, and thought bucket list. The texting back and forth was smooth and simple. We booked same day, and their home was warm and welcoming. The music, candles, and overall atmosphere were perfect. Their synchronized bodywork technique on my back was transformative. If I lived in Portland, I'd be there weekly, maybe daily.
The massage these two delivered was excellent. Highly recommend, A+.
My partner and I booked a 90-minute couples massage with both therapists. They set up two tables and the whole experience was blissful. It's going on our list for the next time we're in town.
These two show up in Seattle monthly, and I always book a session. Their work feels deeply healing and calming. I'd recommend scheduling with them without hesitation.
