I’m a proud husband to my brilliant wive, father of 5 amazing children and grandfather of 10 spirited grandchildren.  I’ve been privileged enough to have served as a veteran in the US Navy.  I encompass nearly thirty years of hyperbaric medicine experience (Clinical/Research/Remote Operations).  I have worldwide experience as a Hyperbaric Operation Consultant since 2006.  I previously taught scuba, technical and light commercial diving earlier in my career.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, Earl raised his own family there and worked in the booming construction field until it slowed to a halt. He took his talents into an Assisted Living Community as the Director of Maintenance, and from there, his path to being a CNA, EMT, and ultimately a CHT. After witnessing a family member avoid a foot amputation due to Hyperbaric Medicine, his passion was ignited to enter the medical field of hyperbaric medicine, and he has been there ever since.

He resides in Fargo, ND spending his free time with family, fishing in his kayak, and using his smoker to create delectable meats.

I grew up in Moorhead and worked as a cardiac intensive care RN for many years. Since then, the many health challenges that my close loved ones and I have faced have led me to research, pursue, and apply new knowledge in functional and holistic approaches to wellness. It is exciting to see the changes that result when we support our bodies’ true health potential. I became interested in hyperbaric therapy after family members who had brain injuries were treated, and I observed the benefits firsthand. I am so grateful to have an opportunity to work where I can utilize my clinical background, personal health experiences, and some of the best tools available in integrative medicine to make improvements in the lives of patients! I consider it a privilege to be making a difference as part of the Swanson team.

In my free time, I enjoy being active outdoors, reading, and being involved at my church. I love spending time with friends and family, especially my children and four granddaughters.

I was born in Russia and raised in Grand Rapids, MN, I bring a unique blend of clinical and fitness expertise to Swanson Hyperbarics. After earning my degree in Exercise Science and working as a CNA, I spent three years in Fargo as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer.

I am passionate about the science of recovery and look forward to witnessing the incredible healing journeys of our patients. Outside of work, I enjoy hitting the gym and relaxing at the lake or cabin with my family and friends.
