Braden completed his Bachelor's Degree in Athletic Training at Park University, Master's Degree in Athletic Training at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, and Doctor of Athletic Training at the University of Idaho. He has worked academically and clinically in several different settings, including high school, NAIA, and Divisions II and III.
Braden’s passion in athletic training is driven by patient-centered care. He enjoys exploring and researching novel therapy interventions, complementary alternative therapy techniques, and patient-reported and clinician-measured outcomes. This has led him to publish peer-reviewed journal articles and present both locally and nationally. His professional mission is “To prepare students to be competent athletic trainers through high quality education steeped in patient-centered care and evidence-based practice”.

Braden enjoys spending time visiting his family, exploring scenic Pennsylvania, and metal detecting for relics.
