I was raised in a small town, named Sutton on the shores of Lake Simcoe. I surrounded myself with animals from an early age and enjoyed riding my pony, Nikki, and playing with my dog, Charlie. My father was the local country doctor who cared for everyone, young and old. Through my excellent relationship with animals and my exposure to medicine, I naturally developed a passion to become a Veterinarian.

I went to school at the University of Guelph and graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1992. Over the last 20 years, I have enjoyed practicing Veterinary medicine. Every day is rewarding, filled by caring for cats, dogs, and those furry or scaly pets called exotics. I have never felt being a Veterinarian is work, but rather a fantastic opportunity to help pets lead healthier, happy lives.
