"I have had the pleasure of knowing Kennedy for 28 years. Kennedy was instrumental in developing my career as well as growing PT Northwest. I started as a rehab aide, became a partner, and am now PT Northwest’s President/CEO. Kennedy helped our company become a nationally recognized leader in our industry. Under Kennedy’s leadership, our company went from a small “mom and pop” organization to the largest independent physical rehabilitation group in Oregon. Then, Kennedy spearheaded our company’s efforts to find a strategic partner resulting in our deal with US Physical Therapy (NYSE:USPH). Kennedy has the ability to inspire people toward achieving a unified goal. He can breakdown complex issues into ones that are easily understandable. He was vital to our group becoming an award-winning company. PT Northwest has won multiple awards such as the NARA Innovation Award, Oregon Top Workplace, and Best of the Willamette Valley. Kennedy’s strong and empathetic leadership has guided PT Northwest through many crises such as 9/11, the Great Recession, and the COVID-19 pandemic. He is very well respected in our company, our community, and our industry. People regularly seek out Kennedy for his advice and counsel. He makes the people around him better and possesses tremendous character and integrity. I would highly recommend Kennedy to anyone. He is an invaluable asset to any organization."

He has a keen business sense and understanding of how to bring out the best in the people that work with him. He works from the position of knowledge, self-assurance and with a servant leader's attitude. I have worked with Kennedy on the board of directors at the National Association of Rehabilitation Providers and Agencies, and I have him on speed dial when I need a solution or advice.
