Co-Founders - Sam Fontenot, PT & Doug Sparks

Doug Sparks, in 1987, after 8 years as a Wall Street Entrepreneur/Investment Banker, Doug started a physical therapy company, took it public as the chairman, had it acquired and then started over privately. He grew his new company to $8 million within 6 years before selling out in 2001. He has owned, managed, bought and sold many clinics in his 23 years on the business side of therapy. Doug also runs Internet consulting practice, Advanced Physical Therapy Concepts / APTC at www.aptc.biz. He and Sam conceived the structure for MD/PT Partners - National in the Fall of 2003 and received their first legal opinions in February of 2004, thus launching the company. They perfected the model for the first two years before it even occurred to them to use it to help others. Their feeling was that it was simple enough to teach and help operate remotely. That has proven true.

CONGRATS to Doug!! On October 13, 2009 Doug won the M55-59 Pole Vault at the World Masters Games in Sydney, Australia with a new Championship Record of 4m - 13' 1 1/2". For video and blog go to www.bubbapv.com
