My career began in a local mixed animal practice, where I had the opportunity to work with a variety of species, from family pets to farm animals. I was excited to dive into the world of veterinary medicine, immersing myself in clinical life. However, it didn't take long for me to realize that my true passion lay beyond the confines of small animal care. As I spent time working with larger species, I felt drawn to the connection between cattle and the farmers who depend on them. Knowing that my efforts directly contributed to the success of a farmer's livelihood filled me with a sense of deeper purpose and fulfillment. I realized that these animals weren't just livestock; they were essential to a farmer's way of life and a source of income for families and communities. This deepened my appreciation for agriculture and my aim to contribute in a meaningful way to both animals and their caretakers.

Outside of veterinary medicine, my greatest joy comes from sharing my love of agriculture and nature with my sons, Lukas and Collin. I’m also grateful for my wife, Lauren, who joined me on this adventure when we bought our farm in 2018. The land has special meaning to me, as it once belonged to my great-grandfather. Over the years, it changed hands several times, and when the chance came to bring it back into our family, we knew it was something we had to do. Together, we’ve restored the farm, putting our hearts and dreams into every corner of it, honoring the generations who came before us while building something we can pass on to the next.
