Meet Our Staff

Dr. Nathan grew up in Michigan’s lower peninsula and earned his degree in Exercise Science from the University of North Dakota in 2005. Before pursuing chiropractic care, he spent several years coaching swimming and managing restaurants - experiences that strengthened his appreciation for teamwork, balance, and helping others reach their potential.

He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where he served as a teaching assistant in the rehabilitation department, worked in a low-income outpatient clinic, and helped assess students’ clinical readiness. After graduating in 2015, Dr. Nathan began his career in a rural South Dakota community before making Colorado his home.

Since taking over Thrive Chiropractic in 2018, Dr. Nathan has shaped the practice into a welcoming, family-oriented space focused on supporting the health and vitality of the whole person. He is especially dedicated to helping people of all ages and activity levels move with ease, recover naturally, and maintain lasting wellness through individualized, evidence-based care.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Nathan enjoys writing, cooking, and staying active in the community. He and his wife, Regina are proud to call Brighton home.

Jesus joined the Thrive Chiropractic & Wellness team in January 2024 after moving back home from Montana, where he studied accounting. A Colorado native, he has lived here all his life and is grateful to once again be part of the Brighton community he calls home. His outgoing personality and warm smile make every patient feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment they walk through the door. Jesus thrives on connecting with others and takes pride in making everyone feel like part of the Thrive family.

Outside of the office, Jesus enjoys hiking Colorado’s beautiful trails, spending time with his family, and performing in Denver during his free time. Whether he’s on stage or greeting patients at Thrive, Jesus brings enthusiasm, kindness, and positive energy to everything he does.
