I grew up 30 miles south of Waseca in Clarks Grove. At a young age, veterinary medicine started to interest me as I spent many hours with my father going on country calls and spending time in the clinic. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with the clients and interacting with the amazing variety of animals. My observations gave me a strong sense of the profession, clinching my decision to become a veterinarian.
I received my B.S. and DVM degree from the University of Minnesota. After graduation, I spent 3 years in a mixed animal practice in Marshall, MN. In 2000, my wife (Dr. Kipling Jones-Lang) and I moved to Waseca, MN to join the Clarks Grove-Waseca Veterinary Clinic. This has been an amazing community, and I am so blessed my family landed here. I am eternally thankful for our amazing clients, animals, and employees!
Away from work, my family and I live on a hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and ducks. I enjoy many outdoor activities including downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and traveling to new destinations. I am an active member of our local church and serve on the board of elders. Aside from veterinary medicine, I enjoy aviation. In 1999, I earned my private pilot license and love to spend time flying my airplane and hanging out at the local airport.
