PRIVATE PRACTICE PEER2PEER NETWORKS – The CEO’s Work: Culture, People Development, and Scaling Teams

Russell is a graduate of Quinnipiac University. He began his career working as a Staff Therapist in hospital systems including the University of North Carolina Hospital and Duke University Hospital. In 1988 he opened his own Private Practice in Grand Island NY. His practice had grown and there was a need in community for fitness services and he began to develop the idea of a medically oriented gym. In January of 2005 the first M.O.G. medically oriented gym site was established and began delivering evidenced based fitness programming to not only patients but also to healthy motivated members of the community. Private Practitioners across the country were interested in developing their own M.O.G site. By the end of 2007 the MOG Group, a co-op of M.O.G. sites owned by Independent Physical Therapy Practices, began its mission of providing a central place for these sites to share policies, procedures and business practices.

A recent merger brought the business to 6 clinical sites, 5 school based contracts and 4 medical fitness facilities. As part of his Peer 2 Peer experience Russ along with rich baudry and Dan Bajus created a 12 month curriculum for young PT's to learn and develop Leadership skills.
