Dr. Eric Jameson Wagner graduated with honors from the University of Arizona. He then moved to Chicago where he worked for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, a world-class rehabilitation hospital. He interacted directly with individuals recovering from traumatic spinal cord injuries. This sparked an intense love in sports medicine that led him to completing a master’s program at Loyola University, medical school at Midwestern University, and a physical medicine and rehabilitation residency at the University of Texas Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.  Dr. Wagner passed away at the age of 36 in 2023.
