I grew up in Kansas and went to Kansas State University for undergrad and vet school. I have been in private practice for close to 25 years. I have worked in small rural settings, large corporate practice and somewhere in between. I have started two successful small animal practices in the Phoenix area and even had a stint as Program Director for a Veterinary Technician College.My wife Nancy and I have two grown kids with one in Arizona and one in Kansas at my alma mater.
