My duties include medical and surgical treatment of our patients. In 2000, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. I enjoy helping animals and their families. I especially enjoy the friendliness of this community. My special interests include both surgical and medical cases. Client education is of particular importance to me so that pet owners understand what is going on with their pets and can make informed decisions. My family includes my wife, a veterinarian also, my two sons, my dog Chewy, two cats, and a turtle. Hobbies include snowmobiling, boating, fishing, welding, and automobile restoration.
