Background

I grew up on a 160 acre farm in central Minnesota where my family raised horses and cattle. I have loved horses my whole life and have been involved in many aspects of the horse industry including showing, breeding, training, and now medicine. Growing up, I was always involved in sports. This has fueled my love for the sport medicine side of veterinary medicine. I have lived in Minnesota for most of my life except for five years spent in the military and four years in Ohio working as a veterinarian.

Medical Interests

I love every aspect involved in working with equine athletes, especially solving lameness issues. Horses are such magnificent animals and the horse and rider bond is like no other. I truly enjoy helping the patient stay sound so that they can develop more trust with the rider. I believe riding a horse in chronic pain reduces the trust the animal has for the rider.
