Today’s feature highlights another one of our wonderful employees, Quintin (our Associate Executive and resident master chef), in honor of his birthday this past week. We are a close-knit team here at Beacon Physical Therapy, and feel fortunate to have among us such a talented group of therapists, and our dedicated staff who make all things possible. If you happen to visit Beacon on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday then you more than likely have had the joy of conversing with Quintin and witnessing the positive energy he brings to our clinic.

Quintin originally hails from Hawaii and has been with us at Beacon PT for 6 years. He is truly one of the main reasons that Beacon PT continues to run smoothly after all these years. When outside of the clinic, Quintin plays an active role in the community and enjoys giving back by volunteering locally.

Happy Birthday Quintin!

1. Hometown: Lihue, Kauai
2. Cat or dog person: I love all animals. My all-time favorites from childhood are Elephants, Giraffes, Owls, Dolphins, Seahorses and Octopi.
3. Favorite meal: I love all types of cultural cuisine. So lucky to be living in this city that is a food Mecca. Love Italian, Turkish, Hawaiian, Filipino, Japanese, Salvadorian, Persian.
4. What are three things you like to do when you have downtime: I do this daily, but I love stretching, Pilates at home, isometrics and lite weights.
5. Favorite lesser-known spot/activity in the Bay Area: I love hiking, going to the dog parks with my friends, connecting with friends at a new restaurant or a mom & pop hole in the wall.
6. Book, music, movie rec: Haven’t read a book in a while. Love top 40 & all classic hits from the 60’s to now.
7. Fun fact: I love to cook, and my true joy comes in sharing the dish with others. Love creating dishes for all tastes and preferences (vegetarian & meat eaters). During the beginning of covid, I was cooking weekly for a lot of families and single people who did not work due to being sheltered in place. My roommates & I ordered out three times a week to help support our community and take out places we still enjoy. To help others, I paid for their PG&E bills for two to three months in advance.

8. Favorite part of your job:
   I love, admire and respect everyone I work with. I’m constantly inspired by each one of them and I know, without a doubt, that I am appreciated, loved, respected and supported in a positive manner. This is the best place I’ve never worked at and it’s effortless to be here because I love & enjoy being this amazing team.
