While Dr. Huzij is originally from Racine, Wisconsin and has lived in many places during his life (including Japan)—primarily in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Texas. When the opportunity arose, Dr. Huzij made the move to his dream location, Colorado Springs.
Dr. Huzij received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Duquesne University and his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed a Family Practice and Psychiatry residency at National Capital Consortium and a Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine +1 residency at the University of New England.
Prior to joining RVU in 2014 as adjunct faculty, Dr. Huzij served in the U.S. Air Force for over 9 years. He worked as a psychiatrist at the Correctional Health Care for El Paso County Jail and the Colorado Department of Corrections, as well as a regional lead and psychiatrist at TeamHealth Skilled Nursing Facilities. In addition to his role at RVU, Dr. Huzij is the Founder and Medical Director for the Trinity Institute.
Dr. Huzij has two daughters. Though he has more hobbies than time, he enjoys dancing, photography, cycling, technology, food, and drone flying. A fun fact about Dr. Huzij is that he earned a full scholarship for his undergraduate studies by performing with the Duquesne University Tamburitzans, an East European folk music and dance group. They averaged ninety shows a year and traveled to 47 states by bus. "My best party trick is to meet someone from Eastern Europe and be able to 'do a little dance' from their country."
