I grew up in Las Vegas, NV and then went to Reno to complete my undergraduate education. After my undergraduate education I moved to San Antonio, TX where I worked for a contract research company and that is where I fell in love with animal care and veterinary medicine. I completed my veterinary education at Texas A&M University. While in vet school I developed a strong interest in emergency and critical care and plan to complete a residency in the field.

Outside of the hospital, I enjoy playing board games, book binding, and spending time with my wife and cat (Charlie).
