Born and raised in southern Alberta near Calgary, Dr. Penner grew up skiing and snowboarding down the epic slopes of the Canadian Rockies near Banff and playing competitive sports in high school and college including basketball, baseball, badminton,volleyball and hockey. When he was 19, he and his two brothers moved to Nashville to start a band. The best part of Nashville was meeting his now wife who happened to be from Whidbey Island. After 6 years of playing music for a living, Dr. Penner decided he
should grow up and become either a PE teacher or a chiropractor, so he moved to Portland and graduated Cum Laude from University of Western States with both a
Bachelor of Science in human biology and Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree.
Dr. Penner moved to Seattle after graduation and started his own practice in 2009. He is passionate about using his hands to fix peoples pain as quickly as possible, using both
chiropractic joint treatment and soft tissue techniques.
His love of life and movement has resulted in a vibrant lifestyle, and when he is not treating patients you can find him training for a trail marathon or ½ Iron Man triathlon,
playing or watching a sport with his 15 year old son, riding one of his motorcycles, playing guitar or reading a good historical fiction novel.
