Dustin Fink has been an “on the field” athletic trainer for nearly two decades. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree from Colorado State – Pueblo and received his Master’s from Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, Colorado. Early on in his career, he began looking further into concussions because what he was seeing on-field and in the training room didn’t match up with the information that was readily available to the medical community. During this time Dustin created The Concussion Blog with the goal of providing a source of unbiased information regarding concussions and their management. Over the past decade, he has devoted nearly 7,000 hours of research and has generated over 1.5 million site visits from nearly every country in the world.
