YOUR WEST CHIROPRACTIC TEAM

Dr. Lea grew up in the small town of Port Ludlow, WA where he worked as a finish carpenter with his father and where his love for fishing began. He graduated from Chimacum High School in 2006 with a class of about 75. He attended Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA where he graduated with a Bachelors in Spinal and Neuroanatomical Health, all while working for a chiropractor to gain experience. He spent a few more months after school working for the chiropractor before he attended Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, CA. He graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2014, then made the move to Naples, FL in January 2015. Since then, he has been refining his skills to become a better Doctor, person, and resource for the community. He now resides in Pinellas Park with his lovely wife Sadie, their beautiful daughter and three fur children. They spend most of their time networking with the community, spending time with family, and enjoy playing team sports, going on adventures, and eating sushi (their favorite). Dr. Lea is certified in Upper Extremity Active Release Technique, KDT Decompression Technique, and much more!
