Veterinarian Overview
I did not grow up around animals. I was actually a little scared of dogs as they were always bigger than me and chasing me which, to be fair, was my fault because I was usually running away. Then along came Haggis, who, like his namesake, was a wonderful mix of who knows what (inspired by my time at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland) and changed everything. I had been gearing up for a life in the business world, having gotten my MBA (University of Phoenix), but when Haggis got sick and I couldnt fix him, I had a paradigm shift. Having a penchant for studying in island countries, I went to the University of the Philippines for vet school. While there, I had a chance to reconnect with family, scuba dive, and meet my wife! Since then, Ive taken courses in dentistry and, in order to better help our stiff and sore patients, acupuncture (Chi Institute in Florida). At home, I like to relax with my rescued Papillion mix, Pappi, cook and try different cuisines. I am a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Southern California Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Association of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine
