Brief Bio

I am originally from Oklahoma, though I went to High School in New Jersey and Undergraduate school in North Carolina. I graduated Vet-School from Oklahoma State University and practiced in Tulsa, Oklahoma for 2 years before coming to Virginia Tech. So now I am an Okie Hokie.

Throughout Vet-School I worked as a Pawnee County Deputy Sheriff, and continued to work as a part time Police Officer for Bristow Police Department after graduation from Veterinary Medical School. I have a wonderful wife Carla, and 6-year-old daughter (my buddy) Irene. Irene and I love to hike, fish, and go camping.
