Who
Dr. Susan Davis is an active senior, having had a successful 48-year career as a licensed Physical Therapist for both human beings and animals. She is the author of 2 published nonfiction books, a research study, and has spoken internationally to PT audiences, along with seminar teaching and lectures. Her passion for active healthy living fueled this website. She is an avid writer, currently working on two new projects. Dr. Sue was raised in Saint Louis, Missouri and spent summertime on her paternal grandparent's farm and maternal grandparent's ranch. After marrying Mark in the late 1970s, she moved from the Midwest to the East Coast and lives in central New Jersey at the Jersey shore!
Why
Because it never too late to stop learning! Susan went back to school in 2018 to seek a doctorate degree, and graduated the same week that her Medicare card arrived in the mail! She believes in lifelong learning.
