Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I grew up in San Rafael, California, which is just north of the San Francisco Bay area. I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was 5 years old. I loved biology and animals, and I started volunteering at veterinary clinics as soon as I was old enough to help. A career in veterinary medicine was a natural choice since it connects these interests. 

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Davis, where I earned an animal science degree. I then attended veterinary school at Iowa State University.

Since graduating, I have worked at multiple private practices as well as a non-profit. My areas of interest are preventive medicine and rehabilitation. I love being a veterinarian because I enjoy helping owners have as much time as possible with their four-legged family members.

I am drawn to end-of-life care because it allows me to help support the human-animal bond and ensure pets receive the respect they deserve as part of the family. I think it is amazing to provide this care in an environment where pets and their owners feel comfortable and safe. 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our animals. I also enjoy video games, hiking, and basketball.
