Veterinarian Overview
I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. At the age of five, I told my mother, with firm commitment, that I wanted to be an ‘animal doctor’. Some 20 years later I graduated with a degree in Veterinary Science from Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand in 2006. It was at Massey University that I met Dr. Leaper, and we first spoke of owning a Hospital together. I began my veterinary career at Cliffe Veterinary Group in East Sussex, UK. It was here that I met my wife, Jo. Together we moved to London and I took on the role of Clinical Director at Chadwell Heath Veterinary Practice. I then joined The Village Veterinary Group (CVS) as Clinical Director, managing four busy hospitals and 55 staff. In between these permanent positions I have worked in another 20 hospitals for varying lengths of time. I made the move to California in fall 2011 and live in San Francisco with Jo and our black and white cat Monstey. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, fly-fishing, cycling and diving. I try to offer my clients and their pets health care advice that is honest, ethical and compassionate. I have strong experiences in advanced medical cases and imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, and also see exotic and farm species such as rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, pigs, goats and fish!
