The son of a school nurse and teacher/coach, Dr. Motz comes by his interest in sports medicine honestly. After spending many hours on athletic fields, he became very interested in injury prevention and the care of injured athletes.

A native of Denver, Dr. Motz attended Denver East High School where he graduated first in his class and participated in many activities including football and baseball. He was awarded the prestigious Boettcher Scholarship and elected to attend Colorado College.

While continuing to play football and baseball, earning four varsity letters in each sport, Dr. Motz continued to work hard in the classroom as a math major. Although doing well in math, his main focus remained medicine and so he also spent lots of time in the biology and chemistry classrooms. The hard work paid off as he was awarded the E.C. Van Diest Award as the outstanding scholar athlete at Colorado College and was one of twenty-six scholar/football players at all levels to receive a NCAA post graduate scholarship for outstanding achievement. He graduated in 1984 magnum cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.

Dr. Motz attended medical school at the University of Colorado, graduating with honors and Alpha Omega Alpha in 1988. Although enjoying a wide variety of areas of medicine, orthopedics and sports medicine remained his focus.

He entered the orthopedic residency of the University of Colorado. While there, he provided care to the athletes of the Denver Public Schools and assisted with CU athletes under Dr. Wayne Gersoff. He then went to the University of Wisconsin where he completed a sports medicine fellowship focusing on arthroscopic reconstructions and the care of collegiate athletes.

He returned to Colorado in 1994 to start in private practice. He has worked as a team physician for the Colorado Rockies, Colorado Rapids and Denver Grizzlies at the professional level. He has worked as a team physician for Metro State College. He has traveled as team physician with USA Hockey and is scheduled to attend the Freestyle World Wrestling Championships in 2003 as the team physician for USA Wrestling. He continues to cover many high school sporting events as the medical director of the Colorado High School Activities Association and Denver Public Schools. He is also interested in organized medicine, serving on the Board of Directors of the Denver Medical Society and as a delegate for the last six years to the Colorado Medical Society annual meeting.

Dr. Motz is married and has two children. His family shares a love of sports as spectators and participants, book collecting and travel.
