I was born in Philadelphia, PA
in 1953. As
early as I can remember I've always wanted to be a veterinarian for dogs
and cats. In spite of the fact that some junior high school testing
had determined that I was tailor-made for the Postal Service, I
continued to pursue my dream.
I left home when I was 18 and joined
the Army. After a three-year stint, I was honorably discharged and
extremely motivated to continue my education. In 1975 I entered Penn
State University and was ranked first in my class for the three
years I attended that wonderful school.
I’ve always been a bit of a seeker, so
no one was too surprised when I packed up and moved to California to
finish my undergraduate studies. While completing my Physiology
Major at the Davis campus of the University of California, I gained
acceptance into the University of California Veterinary School and graduated in
1982. After two years of working at various small animal practices,
I started Veterinary House Calls on the Monterey Peninsula of
California. Twenty
plus years later and we're still going strong.
