Upon graduation from Dickinson College, Jeff moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and first discovered his interest in becoming a physical therapist after his roommate had her ACL reconstructed. In Jackson, Jeff nurtured his love for skiing, mountain biking and sport activity, but he also determined that his course in life was to become a rehabilitation specialist.

Jeff attended Widener Institute for Physical Therapy in Chester, Pa and graduated with honors with a Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy in 1998. At Widener, Jeff studied sports medicine and orthopedics as his specialty.

Jeff began his career as a physical therapist with the orthopedic group Ruggiero and Associates in 1998 as a staff therapist in Malvern. Quickly his roles and responsibilities grew to clinic manager in Malvern as the orthopedic practice grew to become Ruggiero, Ruggiero, Mazur & Odgers. Jeff later became manager of both of the orthopedic physical therapy sites in Malvern and Exton shortly in to his tenure. During his tenure in 2008, he graduated with honors from Temple University with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Jeff’s role later developed into Director of Rehab services of Pennsylvania Orthopedic Center with locations in Malvern, Exton, Collegeville and Phoenixville.
