Veterinarian Overview
I grew up on a dairy farm in Saluda, SC which gave me a love and respect for animals at an early age. Our dairy herd was one of the teaching herds for the University of Georgia, College of Veterinary Medicine. So as a kid I spent a lot of time with senior veterinary students each month when they came to work on our cows. Seeing their passion planted a seed in me that helped lead me to choose the same profession years later. After graduating from Lander University and the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, I practiced in Phoenix, Arizona for almost 8 years. While living there I met my wife, Rachael. Now we have 2 boys who are true blessings in our lives. I love spending time with my family and my yellow lab, Kate. In my spare time, Rachael and I love to run and we have competed in several marathons and half marathons. I have also run a few triathlons as well. We love Charleston and are proud to call it home.
