I grew up in southern Illinois before moving to the Carolinas, where my passion for animals and science eventually led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Biology from Coastal Carolina University before going on to earn my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Purdue University.
I enjoy all aspects of small animal medicine, with special interests in surgery and exotic animal medicine. One of the most rewarding parts of being a veterinarian is building lasting relationships with clients and helping them provide the best possible care for their beloved companions. I am excited to meet pet owners in the Longwood community and develop meaningful relationships while caring for their pets throughout every stage of life.
My wife and I moved to the area in June 2026. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy fishing, playing the guitar, spending time outdoors camping or hiking, and going on adventures with my wife! At home, I have an orange cat named Lani, who keeps life entertaining and reminds me every day why I love what I do.
I am thrilled to be part of the wonderful team at Longwood Veterinary Clinic and look forward to meeting you and caring for your pets!
