Location & Areas We Serve
History
I was raised in Dubuque, Iowa in a hands-on environment with companion and farm animals. I know that the foundation for my respect and appreciation of animals started then. I received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Iowa State University in 1987. I spent the next 22 years working emergency and regular daytime practice. In December of 2009, I bought Wauconda Animal Hospital. It has been a whirlwind of busy since then, but what keeps me grounded on a daily basis are the animals, both my own and yours. I have a passion for client education and preventative medicine.
I think one of the most satisfying things for me is to see a pet's health improve, and to see the happiness this gives their owners. I feel honored to be able to do this kind of work, to make a difference in the lives of the pets and their humans.
When I am not at work I enjoy gardening, reading, and spending as much time as possible outdoors with my dog and the cats and chickens, as well as the human members of my family.
