Chiropractic care in Salt Lake City

I practice Open Source Technique (OST): real-time testing to find exactly what’s actually wrong, then a gentle correction. No cracking, no popping, no long-term contracts. Most people need fewer visits than they expect, and we stop when you’re better, not when a plan says so.

I see patients from downtown Salt Lake City, the Avenues, and neighborhoods across the valley. I also work with hypermobility and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome): if you’ve been told your joints are too loose for regular chiropractic, low-force OST is built for exactly that.

Gentle Chiropractic Salt Lake has the full practice details and booking. Gentle Salt Lake Chiropractor goes deeper if you like to understand a condition before you book. I also see patients in Richfield through Gentle Chiropractic Utah / Takeoff Consulting.

AI coaching, through Takeoff Consulting

Outside the clinic, I run Takeoff Consulting, helping people and businesses in Richfield get real, practical use out of AI instead of just poking at it. I’ve been a heavy user of these tools for years, and for the last two I’ve worked directly with local city government, county tourism departments, and emergency responders on putting AI to work in ways that hold up under real conditions, not just a demo.

What that actually looks like:

• Prompting that holds up. Getting one good answer is easy. Getting the same quality every time, from someone who is not you, is the part that takes real technique.
• Making it sound like you. The first complaint I hear is that the output does not sound like the person who asked for it. That is fixable, and it is usually the fastest win available.
• Workflows for people starting from zero. Where to begin, what to hand it, what to keep doing yourself, and how to tell when the answer is wrong.
• Projects and custom GPTs built for one job. All live and free to open: the Tech & Scam Safety Companion, which also does scam checking for people who keep getting texts and calls they are not sure about; Utah Disaster Response Command, pulling live wildfire, seismic and road data for emergency planning; and the Takeoff Prompt Refinery, which writes the detailed prompt for you when you know what you want but not how to ask.
• Getting a whole staff caught up. A lunch session for the group, then one-on-one time with each person on their actual job. People leave with something specific to their own work, not a slide deck. It works the same over screen share too. Book a time.

If you want to see what this looks like pushed hard, The Barth Saga is a comedy I built out of a friend’s text messages, voice memos and photographs. Seventy-six chapters, fifty-eight illustrations, and every image prompt printed underneath the picture it produced, so you can see the instruction and the result together. It is a joke first. It is also the clearest demonstration I have of what a properly built system does with a pile of raw material.

Every Friday, 11:30 to 12:30, I run a free class at the Richfield office. Drop in, no signup. More on what Takeoff Consulting does if you want the details first.

Paragliding

I fly paragliders off Cove and Monroe Peak, most good evenings from spring through fall. Roughly 1,500 hours in the air over the years, about 800 of those right here in the Sevier Valley. The full paragliding story is here, along with my XContest pilot profile and a dashboard of my Cove evening flights, if you like charts as much as I do.

These days most of my flying is with friends rather than on a scoresheet. On a strong day we go as high as the air will take us, sometimes 17,900 feet on aviation oxygen. Thermal flying is a kind of wrangling. The air is doing something powerful you cannot see, and the job is to feel where it is strongest, stay centered in it and ride it up without letting it throw you. It is a rodeo without an audience.

For ten years I helped organise the Red Rocks Fall Fly In, a free flight gathering here in the valley. It drew between one hundred and five hundred pilots a year, 2020 being the biggest it ever got. We are not running it any more, partly for technical reasons and partly because ten years of putting on an event that size will use a person up. The competitions do that job better now in any case. They draw qualified pilots, which is what the valley actually benefits from.

Cove and Monroe Peak are genuinely world-class sites that most people outside the sport have never heard of. Pilots have come from all over the world to fly this valley, and while they are here they stay in local rooms and eat in local restaurants, which is a quieter kind of contribution than it sounds like.

I have competed too. The Colombian National Championships in 2017, the Applegate Open in Oregon in 2018, the US Open of Paragliding at Chelan, Washington in 2019, the Lone Star Championships at Hearne, Texas in 2020, and the Red Rocks Wide Open here in Monroe in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The farm

I run a small orchard and sheep farm out in the Sevier Valley. Over a hundred heirloom fruit trees, a big garden, and a flock of Suffolk sheep.

We raise about thirty lambs a year and sell pasture-raised, butchered lamb in the fall. It sells out. The price follows the market, so it moves year to year. If you want some, get in touch. More on the Flying Farm if you’re curious.
