Dr. O'Tool graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2013 and has already expanded his private practice to three locations around the Des Moines area.

While at Palmer, he served as president of the Palmer Campus Guides and was active in the Palmer Student Alumni Foundation, the Iowa Club and was instrumental in starting the SACA Sports Council. He was also chosen to represent Palmer as a student at several political round-table discussions with local, state, and national politicians.
