I've been in the Toledo area since 2005, after I graduated from the National University of Health Sciences. I’m an army brat — I grew up all around the world. I settled here for a great reason — my wife, who I met as a student at the University of Dayton in the 1990s, is a native Toledoan. This is an exciting community to be a part of, and I feel like I've got some unique things to offer. I'm the only one in the area to be certified in chiropractic neurology, which allows me to treat all kinds of issues, from migraines to vertigo to balance disorders and carpal tunnel. I can even help with things like autism and ADHD. And as of this year, I'm a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician — I can do the same sorts of techniques used on Olympic and pro athletes. I'm certified to do Kinesio Tape, that colored tape you might have seen on athletes in London, as well as the Graston Technique, used to break up scar tissue and adhesions to allow people to get back to normal activities. I'm the team physician for Northview High School football, which is terrific since I love football and it gives me an excuse to watch the games! It's great to take care of the kids and to be a part of that community.
The vision of Registry Bistro was conceived in September of 2010. The journey from conception to reality was exciting. We’re a mother and daughter team — I stay on top of everything that has to do with the business side of the restaurant, and Erika, who was trained at the Culinary Institute of America, devised a really inventive menu from scratch. We encourage other entrepreneurs to be persistent and follow their dreams the way we did. Downtown is very much alive and growing, so we’re looking forward to meeting our new neighbors. We chose our location because of the historical architecture of the former Secor Hotel. It provides a perfect backdrop for a fine dining experience in a casual and approachable atmosphere. It’s classic meets modern in every respect, inviting all your senses to participate — the interior is visually stimulating with art displays that change seasonally along with the menu offerings. Your taste buds will be inspired by Chef Erika’s modern spin on comfort food. Our goal was to bring a fresh and new experience to Toledoans, and I think we’ve accomplished that.
