I grew up in nearby Greeley on a dairy farm with my parents, one brother and two sisters. I graduated with a B.S. in Animal Science from CSU in 1972, and with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1975. I spent one year as an intern at the animal reproduction center at Colorado State University.

After graduation, I married my college sweetheart Phylis, and we have three children, Ryan, Diana and Paul. (They are all currently in college, so retirement in nowhere near in the future). After the internship I started my own practice in Fort Collins, and have been in practice here since 1976. We moved into our current location in the spring of 1986, and did a major remodel and expansion in 1998.

As a veterinarian I acquired a professional interest in veterinary dentistry about 10 years ago, and have pursued advanced training in dentistry since that time. I receive referrals from the Colorado front range, the western slope, and from most of Wyoming. I am an active member of the American Veterinary Dental Society, and have been fortunate enough to have served as president of that organization in 2004 and 2005. In February of 2007, I received my diplomate status from the American Veterinary Dental College.

Some of my outside interests are music, gardening, racquetball and rugby, and watching the best team in the National Football League- the Denver Broncos. I am an active member of Timnath Presbyterian Church, where I sing in the church choir, and help teach some of the adult classes.
