I grew up in the Midwest in Wisconsin and Missouri. I attended undergraduate college in St Paul MN. I then graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. After graduation I worked in a mixed animal practice in northern Missouri for two years before starting my own mixed animal practice in Memphis, MO. After a few years the opportunity to move to Alaska became available and I brought my practice to the Kenai Peninsula. My practice here is entirely mobile offering routine services. I have two girls and family that lives locally on the Kenai Peninsula. I had a Doberman, named Nero, for several years, including during the move to Alaska.
