I grew up in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. Upon graduating high school, I enlisted in the US Navy, where I was a Navy Deep Sea Diver. Upon serving my enlistment, I attended Mississippi State University, where I earned a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries Science and a MS in Wildlife Ecology. I began my professional career as a research biologist for an international timber company. I later attended Louisiana State University and earned my DVM degree.
I have been practicing in Bluffton/Beaufort for nearly 12 years. I appreciate all aspects of small animal medicine. I particularly like soft tissue surgery and advanced medical evaluations. I recognize the importance of making myself available for the client’s needs for the pet’s end of life.
In my spare time, I can often be found on the water fishing. I enjoy spending time with my family. My three dogs, Lolli, Ellie, and Hoyt keep me busy as well.
