Mentor and Research

For the project, I will be needing a mentor and someone to help with research.  I have chosen the head physical therapist at Viverant in Vadnais Heights, Jeff Lahti.  Jeff was the first Physical Therapist I had and he was awesome.  He is now currently the head therapist for the Minnesota Twins.
